An enterprise has committed to the implementation of a new IT governance model.

The first step in implementing a new IT governance model is to identify the role of IT in supporting the business, which means clarifying the vision, mission, goals, and strategies of the enterprise and how IT can enable and align with them. This step helps to establish the businessvalue and direction of IT, as well as the expectations and responsibilities of the stakeholders involved. It also helps to define the scope and boundaries of IT governance, and to identify the key issues and challenges that need to be addressed. Identifying the role of IT in supporting the business is a prerequisite for the other steps, such as identifying IT services, defining policies, and prioritizing investments, which are based on the business needs and objectives. References: CGEIT Exam Content Outline | ISACA1, CGEIT Review Manual (Digital Version), 5 Steps to Create a Governance Model to Become an IT Genius in Healthcare2
