Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 34

An IT team is having difficulty meeting new demands placed on the department as a result of a major and radical shift in enterprise business strategy. Which of the following the CIO's BEST course of action to address this situation?

Answer options

• A. Review the current IT strategy.
• B. Utilize third parties for non-value-added processes.
• C. Align the business strategy with the IT strategy.
• D. Review the IT risk appetite.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because aligning the IT strategy with the business strategy ensures that IT resources are effectively supporting the new business demands. Option A, while important, does not directly address the alignment needed; B focuses on outsourcing rather than strategic alignment, and D is more about risk management than adapting to business changes.
