ABSTRAK Perguruan tinggi tergolong dalam industri  quasi-commercial, selain memberikan pelayanan pendidikan kepada masyarakat, juga menerapkan prinsip-prinsip manajemen industri komersial untuk mendapatkan dana sebagai pendukung keberlangsungan hidup universitas. Karakteristik perguruan tinggi yang demikian itu, menjadikan teknologi informasi (TI) menjadi sangat penting. Adanya kegagalan dalam implementasi  TI  dalam Universitas akan dipandang negatif oleh banyak pihak. Karenanya, IT governance saat ini menjadi salah satu critical success factor (CSF) bagi para pemimpin dan mitra perguruan tinggi untuk mengoptimalkan peran IT dalam efektifitas peningkatan aset, capaian kinerja, sasaran, tujuan, visi dan visi organisasi. Sejalan dengan perubahan keberadaan fungsi TI dari level operasional menjadi strategis di dalam suatu organisasi, muncul pula suatu manajerial baru yang disebut sebagai Chief Information Officer (CIO). Keberadaan CIO untuk organisasi yang sangat menggantungkan aktivitas bisnisnya sehari-hari pada sistem informasi dan teknologi Informasi (SITI) merupakan suatu keharusan. Tanpa adanya fungsi strategis dari sistem dan teknologi informasi, perusahaan yang bersangkutan akan mengalami permasalahan yang sangat serius. Pertanyaan yang muncul kemudian adalah bagaimana karakteristik dan peranan TI di perguruan tinggi sehingga membutuhkan tata kelola yang baik dan bagaimana peran strategis CIO  dalam organisasi. Tulisan ini berusaha menjawab kedua pertanyaan tersebut.

Information technology (IT) menjadi semakin penting bagi organisasi perguruan tinggi (dan organisasi lainnya) karena dapat memudahkan pelaksanaan proses bisnis dan meningkatkan keunggulan kompetitif. Melalui IT, proses bisnis dapat dilaksanakan lebih mudah, cepat, efisien, dan efektif. IT juga menawarkan banyak peluang kepada perguruan tinggi untuk meningkatkan kinerja, mentransformasi pelayanan, pasar, proses kerja, dan hubungan-hubungan komunitas dan riset. Karenanya, IT governance saat ini menjadi salah satu critical success factor (CSF) bagi para pemimpin (CIOs) dan mitra perguruan tinggi untuk mengoptimalkan peran IT dalam efektifitas peningkatan aset, capaian kinerja, sasaran, tujuan, misi dan visi organisasi. Namun demikian, kompleksitas penerapan IT pada organisasi menimbulkan kesukaran pada berbagai level pemimpin dan stakeholder dalam memahami, membuat dan menerapkan IT governance di perguruan tinggi. Akibatnya manfaat penggunaan IT yang didapatkan perguruan tinggi dirasakan belum sebanding dengan nilai investasi yang telah dikeluarkan. Untuk itu, artikel ini membahas tinjauan tentang IT governance, prinsip-prinsip dan pedoman yang ditetapkan oleh para ahli IT governance di lapangan, struktur IT governance di perguruan tinggi, komite IT governance secara intensif, dan rekomendasi prototype good IT governance yang dapat diterapkan di perguruan tinggi.

This chapter articulates the knowledge and skills required by IT professionals in young Internet-based firms.

The authors hope that a comprehensive understanding of the role of IT-related competence will assist founders not only in finding suitable partners, but also in aligning e-business strategy and information technology in Internet-based ventures.

Managerial responsibilities for information technology (IT) have, increasingly, been consolidated in the person of the “chief information officer” (CIO). Despite the increased prevalence of the CIO position, no one model has emerged that explains what can realistically be expected of the CIO in various organizational contexts. This is particularly true of the public-sector CIO. In this chapter, insight into the problems, challenges, and requisite competencies for public-sector CIOs is provided. The conceptual framework of CIO competence presented here is multidimensional and interdisciplinary in nature. In the chapter, the importance of considering the contextual setting in which CIOs operate in understanding the competencies he or she deems critical to the CIO role is illustrated. The competencies deemed critical by CIOs with differing perceptions of the role of IT, as well as those deemed critical by CIOs managing different size IT units, are contrasted. The discussion should inform academicians developing IT management curricula and practitioners engaged in CIO search and development activities.
