History and Mission
The IT Governance Institute (ITGI) was established in 1998 to advance international thinking and standards in directing and controlling an enterprise’s information technology. Effective governance of IT helps ensure that IT supports business goals, optimizes business investment in IT, and appropriately manages IT-related risks and opportunities. ITGI offers original research on global practices and perceptions relative to governance and management of IT.
Activities

Taking Governance Forward
In 2010, ITGI launched Taking Governance Forward (www.takinggovernanceforward.org), an online resource that enables enterprise and IT leaders to learn about the latest governance issues and how to implement effective governance in their organizations. Taking Governance Forward features practical tools and an innovative “governance on a page” concept. It encourages collaboration, creates common definitions and provides a comprehensive, yet simple-to-use, overview of governance.
