If you identify an incorrect critical success factor, you will not add value. Nothing that doesn't serve the ultimate goal of attaining business objectives is worth having, unless it is driven by law or regulation. However, per Guldentops, the enormous risk of IT provides an opportunity to bring the issue of governance to the agenda of Boards, so that perhaps there may be IT governance before there is enterprise governance. Granted, if corporate or enterprise governance is weak, it may be more difficult to establish IT governance but it can and should still be done. Extended enterprises should be good proving grounds for IT governance because they do not have a choice - they must implement IT governance to survive.
Governance is responsible to one level up.
