Introduction Key Learning Outcomes Training Methodology Who Should Attend? Outline

Introduction

Effective IT governance is critical for organisations operating in complex digital and regulatory environments. COBIT 2019 provides a comprehensive and flexible framework that enables organisations to design governance systems tailored to their specific objectives, risk profiles, and operating models. However, real value is achieved only when COBIT is designed and implemented correctly, rather than adopted as a generic framework.

The COBIT 2019 Design and Implementation training course provides participants with the practical knowledge required to design fit-for-purpose governance systems and implement them in a structured, sustainable manner. Participants will learn how design factors influence governance outcomes, how to apply the governance system design workflow, and how to execute COBIT’s implementation lifecycle to embed governance practices that support performance, compliance, and risk optimisation.

Key focus areas include:

Designing governance systems using COBIT 2019 design factors
Aligning IT governance with enterprise strategy and objectives
Applying the COBIT design and implementation lifecycle
Strengthening governance effectiveness and oversight
