What is the main goal of Phase 6 in the COBIT implementation model?

The main goal of Phase 6 in the COBIT implementation model is to ensure a sustainable transition. This phase focuses on embedding governance practices into the organization's culture and processes, making sure that the governance and management objectives are sustained over time.

Creating a sustainable transition means that the organization is not only implementing COBIT principles but is also committed to maintaining and continuously improving these processes as part of their operational framework. This involves making the governance structures resilient and adaptable to changes, enabling ongoing monitoring and adjustment as necessary to respond to new challenges or technological advancements.

Establishing measures, reviewing effectiveness, and gap analysis are all important components of the overall implementation process, but they contribute to achieving that sustainable transition. In essence, the focus in Phase 6 is to institutionalize governance practices such that they are self-sustaining and integral to the organization’s operational practices.
