ISO/IEC 38500:2024 5.2.2: Purpose: governance implications for use of IT

What the purpose principle means for the governance of IT: the governing body works out whether, and how, IT (innovative IT in particular) can help the organization serve its purpose and values better and raise the benefit of what it offers, so that IT use is aligned with the purpose; tying the adoption of new and emerging IT to the purpose also equips staff to take decisions and act in line with the purpose and values.
