As part of the implementation of IT governance, the board of an enterprise should establish an IT strategy committee to:

The IT strategy committee's main function is to bridge the gap between business objectives and IT initiatives, ensuring that technology investments and strategies directly support and are aligned with the overall enterprise goals. This committee provides oversight and guidance to achieve synergy between IT and business direction.

While important, ensuring IT risks are managed during strategy implementation is typically part of a broader risk management framework and not the primary, overarching purpose of an IT strategy committee.

Driving and implementing the IT strategy are operational responsibilities of IT management, not the strategic oversight role of a board-level IT strategy committee.

The committee does not assume governance accountability for the *business* strategy itself; instead, it focuses on how IT contributes to and aligns with that strategy.
