It is clear that to implement successful ITG, adoption of differ-ent standards and frameworks is required based on organizationsize and requirements, as mentioned in the previous section. Thesestandards and frameworks aim to guide the implementation ofsome components of ITG based on scope and attention. Thereare some important factors that encourage the success of theimplementation of ITG and give good indications of that success. ‘IT-governance-related success factors must be entrenched and adhered toin order to do away with inadequate governance effectiveness, whichhas negative consequences for the IT contribution to public servicedelivery’ (Nfuka & Rusu, 2011). Some of these ITG standards andframeworks have mentioned such factors implicitly using differentnames and meanings such as enablers or challenges. However, theyare not providing a comprehensive framework for measuring thesuccess of overall ITG implementation. COBIT 5 introduced CSFs forthe ITG processes but they cannot be used as CSFs for the entire ITGimplementation. ISO 38500 introduced six principles, which provide a strong base for the implementation of ITG, but they are notCSFs. Therefore, it can be said that this study will enrich the studiestargeting CSFs of ITG implementation. The summarised factors willbe grouped in a framework under different categories and will becalled Success Factors for IT Governance (SFITG).
