To gain the greatest benefit from the COBIT framework, a stakeholder should have a certain level of
experience and a thorough understanding of the entire enterprise. A stakeholder is a person or group
that has an interest or concern in an enterprise’s activities or outcomes. Examples of stakeholders
are board members, executives, managers, employees, customers, suppliers, regulators, etc. To gain
the greatest benefit from the COBIT framework, a stakeholder should have a certain level of
experience in I&T governance or management practices, as well as a thorough understanding of the
entire enterprise’s vision, mission, values, goals, objectives, strategies, processes, culture, etc. This
would help them to apply the COBIT framework effectively and efficiently to their specific context
and needs.1 Reference: COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology, [COBIT 2019
