An important component for an enterprise strategy archetype of cost leadership as defined by COBIT

2019 is support for the portfolio management role with an investment office. According to the COBIT

2019 Design Guide, cost leadership is one of the four generic enterprise strategy archetypes that

describe how enterprises compete in their markets. Cost leadership means that an enterprise aims

to offer the lowest prices for its products or services by minimizing its costs and maximizing its

efficiency. One of the design factors that influence the governance system for a cost leadership

strategy is the organizational structures. The COBIT 2019 Design Guide suggests that a cost

leadership strategy requires a centralized and standardized organizational structure that supports the

portfolio management role with an investment office. The portfolio management role is responsible

for selecting, prioritizing, and balancing the IT investments that align with the enterprise strategy

and objectives. The investment office is a function that assists the portfolio management role by

providing financial analysis, reporting, and decision support. The support for the portfolio

management role with an investment office helps to ensure that the IT investments are optimized for

cost and value. Reference: : COBIT 2019 Design Guide: Designing an Information & Technology
