Explanation
The transition from a divisional model to a centralized model of IT governance and management requires an increase in capability levels. This is because the transition requires an integration of IT systems and processes across the enterprise, which requires a greater level of expertise, organization, and coordination. Additionally, the adoption of outsourcing increases the complexity of the IT environment, requiring a higher level of understanding of the capabilities of the various vendors and contractors being used. Increased capability levels are required to ensure that the organization can adequately manage the transition and maintain the necessary level of control over the IT environment.
