Technology Governance (Build Trust in Digital Innovation) - 9781398625495

Technology governance is about choices. Every company must choose the technologies it adopts and how it will deploy them. Those choices matter.

The companies that win in the 21st century will be the ones that earn trust in innovation. Market forces, regulation, technical architecture, and public expectations all shape business decisions, but those choices ultimately belong to leaders. In a world where public confidence in technology is eroding and regulators are watching more closely than ever, building digital trust is a competitive advantage.

Technology Governance gives business leaders the tools to navigate those forces and make the right choices for mitigating risk and building trustworthy innovation. Written by trustworthy tech advocate and corporate governance expert Daniel Dobrygowski, this book is a practical guide to building and running a technology governance program grounded in digital trust.

Drawing on real-world examples from organizations including Maersk, Google, Wikipedia, and Microsoft, the book helps leaders build and deploy technology better, faster, and more responsibly. It shows how to embed trust into technology that organizations procure or develop, navigate geopolitical and regulatory complexity, and uphold the values of all stakeholders: employees, users, shareholders, and society at large. For executives, technologists, and anyone who wants technology to live up to its promise: this is the way to defend innovation and build lasting success.
