Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 354

An enterprise is planning a transformation initiative by leveraging emerging technology that will have a significant impact on existing products and services. Which of the following is the BEST way for IT to prepare for this change?

Answer options

• A. Procure appropriate resources to support emerging technology.
• B. Use a balanced scorecard to measure IT outcomes.
• C. Assess the impact on the existing IT strategy.
• D. Analyze emerging technology products and related training needs.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because assessing the impact on the existing IT strategy ensures that any necessary adjustments can be made to align with the new technology. Options A and D focus on resource acquisition and training, which are important but secondary to understanding how the transformation will affect the overall strategy. Option B, while it measures outcomes, does not directly prepare IT for the impending changes.
