Executive Governance Committees

 

Overview

 

The Executive Governance Committees (EGCs) were established to assist OIT with oversight and governance of certified IT projects. Prior to the EGCs, the Commission on Information Management presided over the State's IT projects. However, this group was dissolved per Senate Bill 07-254, and the EGC model was implemented to improve cross-departmental collaboration and to better manage the existing project portfolio. The EGCs serve as advisory boards for making recommendations to OIT regarding changes with project funding, scheduling, release plans, staffing, and other issues which could impact a project.

 

There are seven EGCs that provide oversight for logically-grouped departments. They are as follows:

 

  1. Agriculture and Natural Resources EGC (Dept. of Agriculture and Dept. of Natural Resources)
  2. Education EGC (Dept. of Education, Dept. of Higher Education, and Historical Society)
  3. Finance EGC (Dept. of Revenue, Dept. of Regulatory Agencies, Dept. of State, Dept. of Local Affairs, Dept. of the Treasury, and Office of the State Controller)
  4. Health Care and Human Services EGC (Dept. of Human Services, Dept. of Health Care Policy & Financing, and Dept. of Public Health & Environment)
  5. Personnel and Labor EGC (Dept. of Personnel & Administration and Dept. of Labor & Employment)
  6. Public Safety EGC (Dept. of Corrections, Dept. of Public Safety, Dept. of Military & Veterans Affairs, and Dept. of Local Affairs)
  7. Transportation EGC (Dept. of Transportation, Dept. of Personnel & Administration, and Dept. of Revenue)

 

The mission of the Executive Governance Committees is:

 

  • To bring together business and IT professionals from similar departments to advise and collaborate for the benefit of improving project delivery.
  • To provide an escalation point for project steering committees.
  • To help facilitate the necessary assets and resources to assist projects.
  • To ensure the larger enterprise strategy is being leveraged for major IT projects.
  • To help recognize and award high performers on IT projects.
  • To identify what is working with the projects and extend that knowledge to the enterprise.
