Abstract
The integration of IT governance with business strategy played a pivotal role in enhancing organizational excellence. This study explored how aligning IT governance frameworks with strategic business objectives led to improvements in performance, innovation, and competitive advantage. Key success factors such as leadership commitment, effective communication, and stakeholder engagement were analyzed for their impact on this alignment. The research also investigated the challenges organizations faced, including resistance to change and insufficient stakeholder involvement, and provided strategies to overcome these obstacles. The study found that organizations that effectively integrated IT governance with their business strategy experienced higher operational efficiency, better risk management, and greater innovation capabilities. However, the process required a deep understanding of both IT and business objectives, as well as a commitment to continuous improvement. The findings suggested that organizations needed to develop IT governance practices that were adaptable to evolving business environments and strategic priorities to maintain alignment and drive sustained success. By addressing these factors, organizations could ensure that their IT governance practices were not only aligned with their business strategy but also capable of supporting long-term growth and competitiveness in a dynamic market. The study concluded that effective integration of IT governance with business strategy was essential for achieving organizational excellence.
