Which of the following is an element of governance?

  1. Building plans to align with the direction set by the governance body
  2. Monitoring activities designed to achieve enterprise objectives
  3. Evaluating stakeholder needs to determine enterprise objectives

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

An element of governance is evaluating stakeholder needs to determine enterprise objectives. This is based on the principle of stakeholder value, which states that "governance of enterprise I&T should ensure that stakeholder needs, conditions and options are evaluated to determine balanced, agreed-on enterprise objectives to be achieved; setting direction through prioritization and decision making; and monitoring performance and compliance against agreed-on direction and objectives" 1. Evaluating stakeholder needs involves identifying who the stakeholders are, what their interests and expectations are, and how they can influence or be influenced by the enterprise's activities2.
