ITPEC FE Morning April 2019 Question 75
ITPEC FE Morning April 2019 — Question 75 of 80
CIO Role — The CIO's primary responsibility is aligning IT strategy with business strategy
The correct answer is a): The CIO creates a plan for optimizing IT investment across the entire company to support business strategy when a computerization strategy is established.
The CIO (Chief Information Officer) is a C-level executive responsible for the strategic use of information technology to support corporate goals — not day-to-day operations.
Why not the others:
- b) Auditing whether IT functions properly is the role of an internal auditor, not the CIO
- c) Receiving queries, reporting problems, and giving operational instructions describes an IT operations manager, not a strategic executive
- d) Personally instructing improvement points for development and operations is too hands-on — this is IT management, not C-level strategy
Key rule: CIO = IT strategy aligned with business goals. Any answer focusing on operational details, auditing, or hands-on management is not describing the CIO role.
