IT management organization design models
Examples of IT management delivery model options are highlighted below.
-
Decentralized sector/ branch/ region IT delivery model. IT expert advisors reporting to the corporate head of IT provide primarily strategic advice. IT expert advisors reporting at the regional or sector/branch level provide strategic and operational IT support.
-
Department/ agency mixed IT delivery model. The corporate IT group provides functional direction, establishes policies/standards, advises senior management on overall IT strategy, and supports corporate applications/ infrastructure. IT specialists in branches/ sectors/ regions support program applications.
-
Department/ agency corporate IT delivery model. The corporate IT group delivers all IT support (e.g., planning, portfolio management, application development, desktop support, infrastructure services) on behalf of sectors/ branches/ regions. Some corporate IT expert advisors are dedicated to specific sectors, branches or regions.
-
Government-wide centralized/ shared services model. Government-wide shared services support standardized IT platforms and systems (e.g., email); centralized data centres; and common government-wide enterprise networks.
