Strategic IT Governance
Most companies spend millions on technology they cannot clearly explain, defend, or govern.
Strategic IT Governance is for CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and operators who are responsible for approving IT budgets, managing risk, and answering board-level questions about outcomes, not just spend.
These briefings separate IT operations from true governance, expose where technology dollars hide, why ROI narratives collapse under scrutiny, and how weak governance quietly destroys leverage, margin, and credibility.
No vendor pitches.
No transformation theater.
No IT jargon.
Only decision-grade clarity on IT spend, governance, risk, AI pressure, and board-defensible outcomes.
I am Jayson Hahn, former Global CIO and founder of JH Strategic IT. I work with business leaders to regain control of technology decisions, defend capital with confidence, and turn IT from a black box into a governed business system.
If you own the decision, the risk, or the explanation, this podcast is for you.

Why IT Governance Fails CFOs When Boards Ask the Question
Most CFOs approve technology investments that look sound on paper, align with leadership expectations, and receive board approval, only to find themselves defending outcomes they never controlled. When strategy decks and financial results diverge, boards do not blame systems or process. They look to finance.
This is not an execution failure. It is an IT governance failure.
What the Podcast delivers
In this briefing, former Global CIO Jayson Hahn explains why IT governance consistently fails CFOs, how misaligned definitions of success between CEOs, CIOs, and finance create hidden exposure, and why boards uncover these gaps months after capital is committed.
You will hear:
Why alignment is not governance
How capital moves before economic logic is agreed
The three questions boards expect CFOs to answer, and why most governance models fail to provide them
A practical framework CFOs can use to regain control, credibility, and board confidence
This Podcast introduces the Command, Control, Confidence governance framework, designed to ensure capital decisions are tied to business outcomes, ownership, and board-level metrics before dollars move.
