00:08

how they contribute to a governance system and what the components are as defined by Kobe.

00:16

So let's go over the definition of components as it pertains to the Corbett framework.

00:21

Components are any factors that contribute to a governance system.

00:26

Components can be processes organizational structures, principles, policies and frameworks, information culture, ethics and behavior, people, skills and competencies and services, infrastructure and applications.

00:41

Components interact with each other to create a comprehensive and holistic form of governance.

00:47

So, for example, organizational structures inevitably interacts with other components, such as culture, ethics and behavior.

00:55

If you have a more formal and hierarchical enterprise, organizational structures will affect your work culture.

01:00

It may be a more formal environment with centralized controls.

01:06

On the other hand, if you have a less hierarchal enterprise, this will also affect your work culture.

01:11

That means there may be less processes in place and things maybe more decentralized.

01:17

It really depends and varies from organization to organization. This is just a example.

01:23

Another example will be that information and process components interact with one another

01:29

information will be the input and output for business processes, resulting in an overall intersection of these components.

01:37

Ultimately, it creates a comprehensive and holistic form of governance if you recognize the different components of a governance system and how they interact with each other.

01:49

culture, ethics and behavior services, infrastructure

02:01

and applications, and people skills and competencies. Let's go through each one in depth.

03:01

It is an essential building block.

03:05

Culture, ethics and behavior determined the success of governance and management activities.

03:09

If you have a government system that is extremely stringent imposed onto a more informal and relaxed working culture, you may not have an overall success of a governance and management objectives.

03:22

This component is really important to keep in mind when creating your I T governance program and strategic objectives and goals.

03:29

People skills and competencies are a component for good decisions, successful completion of activities and execution of corrective actions.

03:38

This is related to the culture, ethics and behavior component, but it is made distinct because of the competencies and skills that people bring to an enterprise

03:49

services, infrastructure and applications. Component includes the infrastructure, tech and applications that provide an enterprise with a governance system. For i t processing.

03:59
