Abstract

IT Governance and IT Management can drive Digital Transformation; they improve and optimize business investment in ICT. From this point of view, this paper explores the relationship between IT Governance, IT Management, and Digital Strategy. In this regard, it presents how to take advantage of existing IT frameworks to build an integrative framework for governing Digital Transformation. It proposes a comparative study between COBIT, ITIL, CMMI, BSC, and EFQM and explains how to take advantage of the best practices and processes of these frameworks to build a holistic digital transformation framework.
