COBIT 5 is a best practice framework for the
governance and management of enterprise IT. It’s
a detailed, expansive, intellectual framework covering a
broad range of enterprise constituents who evaluate and
establish direction for IT, and who plan, direct, operate and
monitor IT.
This latest version incorporates the current thinking in
enterprise governance and management techniques, and
provides globally accepted principles, practices, analytical
tools and models to help increase the trust in, and value
from, information systems. This latest version builds on
earlier intellectual capital of previous editions, from the
early frameworks for audit and control to the management
and governance of IT.
COBIT 5 establishes two distinct domains to deal with
forming strategic direction and day-to-day management
of information systems; Governance and Management.
In addition, COBIT 5’s structure is designed to aid in
continuous improvement, from asking important
questions about whether the goals for IT are in line with
the organisation, to intermediate change management
activities, and continual lifecycle improvements typically
needed to deliver further value and less risk.
One of the strengths of COBIT 5 is the practical supporting
elements that are included, such as the COBIT 5
implementation guide; professional guides that are specific
to roles and functions such as those for information
security, audit and assurance and risk management; and
with assessment guides such as the COBIT 5 assessor guide,
the process assessment guide and the self-assessment
guide.
COBIT 5 is based on five key principles for governance and
management of enterprise IT:
• Principle 1: Meeting stakeholder needs
• Principle 2: Covering the enterprise end-to- end
• Principle 3: Applying a single, integrated framework
• Principle 4: Enabling a holistic approach
• Principle 5: Separating governance from management
The COBIT 5 framework describes seven categories of
enablers:
• PRINCIPLES, POLICIES AND FRAMEWORKS are the
vehicle to translate the desired behaviour into practi-
cal guidance for day-to-day management
• PROCESSES describe an organised set of practices and
activities to achieve certain objectives and produce a
set of outputs in support of achieving overall IT-related
goals
• ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURES are the key decision-
making entities in an enterprise
• CULTURE, ETHICS AND BEHAVIOUR of individuals
and of the enterprise are very often underestimated
as a success factor in governance and management
activities
• INFORMATION is required for keeping the organisa-
tion running and well governed, but at the operational
level, information is very often the key product of the
enterprise itself
• SERVICES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND APPLICATIONS in-
clude the infrastructure, technology and applications
that provide the enterprise with information technol-
ogy processing and services
• PEOPLE, SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES are required for
successful completion of all activities, and for making
correct decisions and taking corrective actions

TACT is Syzygal’s pro-prietary methodology for developing courses and courseware
As part of doctoral research,
Syzygal have developed a unique
approach to developing and
designing professional education
courses and courseware. Rather
than utilising tired and over-used
methods such as working straight
from a syllabus, Syzygal decided to
research the key elements of effec-
tive learning. What we found was
that although dynamic and flexible
delivery methods were essential to
the overall experience for students,
it was the approach to content
formulation and positioning that
was critical to maximising learning
up-take and knowledge retention.
The THEORY of a subject is obvi-
ously critical to success, but ensur-
ing it is positioned in contextual
alignment is the pay-off. We then
ensure students ABSORB the the-
ory by placing them in real-world
scenarios and role-plays, ensuring
the theory connects to practical
application. To support this we
CONSOLIDATE the learning by us-
ing innovative games and exercises
to further develop understanding
and retention. Finally we ensure
TESTING takes place throughout
training events which prepares
the student to take their formal
certification.

plicable, real life experience in their
