Governing Technology Portfolio

Technology governance is no longer about systems — it’s about eras.
Every organization today operates across layers of legacy and innovation, from ERP to AI and robotics. These systems weren’t built to work together, yet boards must now oversee them as a single, strategic asset portfolio.

This module introduces the five eras of enterprise technology — Enterprise, Content & Commerce, Social, Cognitive, and Cybernetic — each with its own technologies, business goals, and risks. Directors will learn how to interpret this complexity through a governance lens: aligning systems with strategy, balancing innovation and stability, and managing transformation across generations of technology.

Boards that master this view will govern not just today’s IT, but tomorrow’s intelligent enterprise
