The ISO/IEC 38500 Lead IT Corporate Governance Manager is the most senior of the three PECB training and certification tracks built around ISO/IEC 38500, sitting above the Foundation and IT Corporate Governance Manager courses. ISO/IEC 38500 itself "provides principles, definitions, and a model to help the governing bodies understand the importance of Information Technology (IT)," and is "intended to help all types of organizations in evaluating, directing and monitoring the use of Information Technology (IT), regardless of the degree of IT usage." The Lead-level credential targets candidates who must support an organization in "establishing, implementing and continually improving a framework that complies with the principles and the model for good IT governance set by ISO/IEC 38500," and who must "manage risks, encourage the exploitation of opportunities arising from the use of IT." Expect the exam to probe the standard's principles and vocabulary, the evaluate-direct-monitor model, framework design and improvement, and the alignment of technology strategy with business strategy, including IT investment and project governance.
