The itSMF USA COBIT Special Interest Group (SIG) commenced in March 2010, and is one of the fastest growing SIGs within the itSMF movement.  The purpose of the SIG is to increase visibility and interoperability between the ITIL and COBIT Frameworks through a collaborative network of professionals interested in sharing good practices.

The primary role of the COBIT SIG is to serve as an advisory and expert panel for knowledge transfer and collaboration on various COBIT related subjects as they relate to the field of IT Service Management.  The group meets virtually on a quarterly sharing information share experiences, developments, and good practices regarding COBIT. This week I am honored to be the presenter and I will be presenting the topic "Implementing and continually improving IT" on Thursday February 24 at 1pm (Eastern US time).  In this session I will be presenting an overview of the ISACA publication Implementing and Continually Improving IT Governance. The publication available for purchase on the ISACA bookstore is an excellent practical publication for the IT Governance practitioner.

Topics covered in the book include;

• Positioning IT Governance
• Taking the First Steps Towards IT Governance
• Identifying Implementation Challenges and Success Factors
• Implementing Continual Improvement
• Using CobiT®, Val IT^TM and Risk IT Components

Following the overview of the publication I will be taking your Governance questions and I am planning of documenting some of the Q&A on the blog.

If you have not attended a SIG meeting or you would like to attend this one, please register.

Hope to see you Thursday!
