Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 94

Despite an adequate training budget, IT staff are not keeping skills current with emerging technologies critical to the enterprise. The BEST way for the enterprise to address this situation would be to:

Answer options

• A. establish an agreed-upon skills development plan with each employee.
• B. allow staff to attend technology conferences.
• C. create a standard-setting center of excellence.
• D. assign human resources (HR) to develop an IT skills matrix.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because developing an IT skills matrix will help identify existing skill gaps and create a focused plan for training and development. Options A, B, and C, while beneficial, do not directly address the need for a structured approach to skill assessment and improvement as effectively as an IT skills matrix would.
