Description
The recent restructuring of the Information Services (IS) operations area mirrors leading practices. In addition, IS' methodologies and tools for conducting information technology projects are above those of its peers. However, our review showed some areas needed improvement, such as, TVA needs to (1) better integrate IS governance with TVA business strategy; (2) improve focus on strategic business partnering and communication with customers; (3) target organization and policy changes, performance measures, and service management toward aiding customers to achieve business goals; (4) consolidate procedures to increase usability; and (5) develop a strategy for handling the risk of the aging workforce and ensuring knowledge transfer. Management generally agreed with the recommendations and is taking corrective action.
