The Governance hyper-cubes are the principal research I am focusing on.

The theory of hyper-cubes makes it possible to understand the mechanisms of governance in a multidimensional way. It is based on a conceptual hierarchization of the governance through three elementary levels:

1 - Principles of governance ( fundamental concept)
2 - Domains of governance (politics, economics)
3 - Classes of governance (financial, social, IT)

The hypers-cubes theory is relevant for the last level: the classes of governance, whatever their nature (financial, social, IT). Each class of governance is defined by different components, that are the dimensions of a cube of governance. These dimensions are as follows:

1 - The strategic domains (Alignment, risks, maturity, etc...)
2 - The framework of practices (Sox, Coso, Cobit, Itil, etc...)
3 - The organisationnal capacities

Each cube is related to and exert an influence on the other cubes of governance. For example, several components of the financial governance cube directly influence those of the IT Gouvernance cube (Sections 302/404/409 of SOX).

The goal of my research is to determine the rules and processes related to multidimentional management of the mechanisms of governance.

The first description of the concept of governance hyper-cubes was published in the second edition of the book“IT Gouvernance, Maîtrise d'un système d'information”, published by Dunod. For more information, consult the Publications / Books section.
