Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 92

Which of the following is a CIO's BEST approach to ensure IT executes against an approved strategy?

Answer options

• A. Request IT senior leaders to collectively plan tactics for execution.
• B. Ask project management to define the IT activities for accomplishing the strategy.
• C. Provide specific direction for execution of the tasks across IT.
• D. Have IT leaders independently develop goals for their teams.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Providing specific direction for task execution across IT ensures that all teams are aligned and focused on the same objectives, leading to more effective strategy implementation. In contrast, collectively planning tactics or allowing independent goal setting may result in a lack of cohesion and inconsistent approaches, while relying solely on project management to define activities can limit the broader strategic vision.
