Training and Certification Area
IT and Corporate Governance — Training and Certification
Governance defines how the organisation decides, prioritises, aligns, transforms and controls. It is not bureaucracy; it is clarity of roles, alignment across technology, risk and strategy, control with judgement, execution with direction and value measurement.
At BEHAVIOUR, this area develops competencies to structure IT governance models and applied corporate governance, strengthening decision-making, accountability, control, transformation, performance and value creation, with a focus on real-world application.
The purpose of this page is to frame the area, clarify its scope and help identify the most suitable training according to profile, responsibilities and the context of governance, decision-making and transformation.

Why IT and Corporate Governance is critical
Governance is execution with control, transformation with direction and value with evidence.
Without governance, the organisation tends to operate through urgency, isolated initiatives and decisions with limited traceability. With governance, there is direction, prioritisation and control: clear objectives, defined roles, metrics, managed risk, coordinated transformation and demonstrable value. In this area, BEHAVIOUR works on method and practice to turn governance into real capability for decision-making, execution and organisational evolution.
Model, Roles and Accountability
Decision structures, responsibilities, oversight mechanisms and organisational coherence.
Value, Priorities and Transformation
Alignment across strategy, investment, portfolio, execution and outcomes with the business.
Risk, Control and Trust
Internal control, compliance, risk management and trust applied to decision-making and transformation.

Frequently asked questions about IT and Corporate Governance
Brief answers to help choose the most suitable training in this area.
What does the IT and Corporate Governance area cover?
It covers governance models, decision-making structures, strategic alignment, portfolio management, control, risk, compliance, transformation, and the measurement of performance and value, helping to turn governance into real organisational capability.
What is IT governance?
It is the discipline that defines how the organisation directs, oversees, prioritises, and controls the use of IT, ensuring business alignment, value generation, risk management, and accountability.
What is the difference between IT Governance Foundation, CGEIT® and Enterprise Digital Reinvention Leader?
IT Governance Foundation introduces governance principles, models, roles, and practices. The CGEIT® preparation course develops a more structured and demanding view of enterprise IT governance, with a focus on value, risk, resources, and integration into organisational decision-making. Enterprise Digital Reinvention Leader expands the scope towards the structuring and leadership of digital reinvention programmes, with a focus on strategy, operating model, transformation, execution and value creation.
When does IT and Corporate Governance make more sense than IT Service Management or Risk Management?
This area makes more sense when the main issue lies in decision structure, IT-to-business alignment, investment prioritisation, oversight roles, accountability and the coordination of transformation. IT Service Management is more focused on service operation and improvement. Risk Management is more focused on the identification, analysis, treatment, and communication of risk.
Does this area help improve IT decision-making and transformation?
Yes. One of the objectives of this area is to strengthen the ability to make decisions with clearer criteria, defined roles, relevant metrics, priorities aligned with the business, and greater control over risk, investment and transformation.
Is this area relevant only for IT leadership?
No. It is also relevant for senior management, GRC, internal control, PMO, portfolio managers, auditors, and roles with responsibilities for oversight, decision-making, transformation and organisational performance.
Can I ask for support in defining a training path for my role or team?
Yes. BEHAVIOUR can support the choice of the most suitable path according to the profile, responsibilities, governance context, and intended level of maturity.
Need help choosing the right course?
We support the decision based on profile, responsibilities and the context of governance, decision-making and transformation.
