Option C
Option C makes sense. If IT strategy is only following trends and not aligning with actual business objectives, that's a huge risk. The point is to support the organization's needs, not just chase what’s new in the market. Pretty sure that's the biggest red flag here. Agree?
Would anyone actually rank B over C for biggest risk to long-term business alignment? Curious how you’d justify that.
Nah, B isn't the biggest concern here. It's C since goals based only on market trends ignore business alignment.
C , because if IT goals are just based on market trends and not tied to the actual business strategy, there's a huge risk of misalignment. Option B is tempting but not hitting old goals isn’t as critical as losing focus on business needs. Anyone disagree?
It's gotta be C here. If IT goals only come from market trends, that's a big red flag since there's no guarantee they're helping with what the business actually needs. That misalignment is what IS auditors worry about most, I think. Anyone disagree?
C is the real issue since IT strategy needs to fit business goals, not just follow trends. If strategic direction comes only from the market, you risk major misalignment. Pretty confident in C but open if anyone sees it differently.
I don't think B is as critical as some think-strategic alignment is a bigger deal. C looks right here, since just chasing market trends without mapping to business objectives is a classic trap for auditors. C.
Honestly, I'd say B here. Not hitting last year's IT strategic goals signals ongoing issues that might impact future strategies. I know C is risky too, but missing objectives feels like a big red flag to me. Anyone else see it that way?
Maybe C. If the IT goals only track market trends, they're probably missing what the business actually needs. Misalignment with business strategy tends to be a big deal for IS auditors. Not totally sure, but that's my take.
Be respectful. No spam.
