The realm of IT Governance has expanded far beyond the traditional confines of the CIO’s office. It is no longer just about making decisions, but about fostering collaboration, managing projects, and integrating innovation within established frameworks, ultimately aiming at delivering business value and trust in digitisation. At this Beltug/ISACA event, we will focus on how innovation can exist within the boundaries we often perceive when thinking of IT Governance.

At this session, we’ll hear three real-life IT Governance stories from three very different organisations. We’ll start with Fost Plus’s digital landscape makeover, and the resulting governance challenges. Then, we’ll hear from Visit Flanders on their different phases and how the focus evolved along the way. Finally, KU Leuven will share the story of their IT department’s move to agile working, including implementing an entirely new IT Governance.

Agenda:

13:30 Welcome coffee

14:00 (in English) Introduction: Participants’ expectations around the table

Ann Guinée, Communication Manager, Beltug

14:15 (in English) User story: Are we there yet? The never-ending (fairy)tale of IT Governance at Fost Plus

Fost Plus has given its IT landscape a complete makeover over the last five years, with a focus on digitalisation and the use of new technologies to optimise business efficiency. As the landscape restabilises, there is still a lot of work to be done to manage all the changes from the past half-decade. In this presentation, we’ll discover the journey that Fost Plus has taken so far in managing the governance of this landscape, and the associated challenges.

Shanna Cloet, IT Manager, Fost Plus

14:45 (in Dutch) User story: Charting the course – The Evolution of IT Governance and interdepartmental collaboration at Visit Flanders

Let’s explore the path Visit Flanders has taken over the past years, including highlights of the different phases. Each has a specific focus, in line with the growing maturity of the agency:

  • The development of IT Governance and its impact on the organisation
  • The evolution of the collaboration between the ICT department and other departments
  • The growth and maturity of the agency over the years

Geert Hoffbauer, CIO, Visit Flanders

15:15 Discussion: your experiences, questions and best practices

15:30 Coffee break

16:00 (in Dutch) User story: An agile governance transformation within a century-old organisation

Eight years ago, KU Leuven’s IT department began their exciting evolution towards agile working. Inspired by the Safe framework (among others), they implemented a completely new IT Governance, reaching all the way to the highest governing bodies. We’ll hear how KU Leuven transformed from rigid projects to agile initiatives; from top-down Gantt charts to bottom-up Kanban’ boards; from input-based timesheets to delivered features; and from traditional customer-supplier relationships to transparent, predictable partnerships. This is a story about the organisation changing not only how they work, but how they think about collaboration and progress.

Jan Scheerlinck, Member of the Management team and growing as a servant agile leader, and Leen Van Rentergem, CIO, ICTS KU Leuven

16:30 Discussion with the speakers panel: your experiences, questions and best practices
