Risk Management and Business Continuity Questions
Please ensure you cite in APA format, any sources you have used in your posting. Question 1. Successful Alignment of IT with Business/Project Prioritization Refer to the readings on aligning IT to the business strategy, and either do some research or draw from your own experience to tell us about an organization that has successfully aligned its IT to the business. Answer the question and discuss the importance of its answer to the CIO, integrating the information on the organization into your response: 1. How are IT projects currently determined and prioritized by the organization? Question 2 Governance/Enterprise Strategies/Project Team Personnel Complete the readings and review the IT Strategic Plan, Part 1 assignment before completing this question. Choose one of the following and develop two well-researched paragraphs: Why is it important to have the senior leadership/management of an organization involved in the IT governance process? Identify at least three senior positions found in most organizations and explain why it is important for that person to be a part of the IT governance process.What are two or three different ways that the IT governance group could determine how to prioritize IT projects?What are the key steps that the CIO should take to develop an IT Strategic Plan for the organization? Question 3 Compliance Issues Complete the readings before answering the question. Listed are three compliance issues. Choose one and discuss how it might affect the information systems at GGFRT. Review the GGFRT Case Study and identify which current or planned system(s) may be affected by your chosen issue. Write a short statement of requirements that could be used to modify the system(s) to address the compliance issue. Recent loss of privacy information has caused GGFRT management to direct the CIO to encrypt all such information in the systems. Question 4 Risk Management and Business Continuity Complete the readings for question 4 before reviewing the IT Strategic Plan, Part 2 assignment and the “IHS Risk Management Guide” from question 3 before completing this discussion. This discussion is to help prepare you for the ITSP, Part 2 assignment. The concepts being discussed here relate to risk management and business continuity planning from the business perspective. In your ITSP Part 2 assignment you will discuss these topics from an IT perspective. Provide a response to one of the following: Referring to the ITSP, Part 2 assignment #4 and the GGFRT case study, you will identify some risks that the CIO needs to consider. For this discussion, we will focus on risks that the business should be concerned with. Apply what you know about the business environment and come up with and explain 3 risks related to the business environment (not IT-related risks). Explain what impact the risk has on the business, how likely it is to occur, and how it can be prevented or mitigated. Question 5 Performance Measures and the Value of IT Conduct some research if necessary and respond to one of the following: Review the GGFRT Case Study and identify 3 business performance measures that should be displayed daily on the dashboard for the President (CEO role) to help him understand how his business is doing. Question 6 Leadership Characteristics and Strategies We will discuss leadership. This relates to the Leadership Philosophy section of this week's CIO Memo assignment. There are two aspects, one is the characteristics of a good leader (personality traits, etc.) and the other has to do with the strategies (activities, actions, etc.) that would help the CIO be successful. Refer to last week's readings and respond to the below question with two good paragraphs: Referring to the GGFRT Case Study, identify the top three leadership characteristics that the CIO should demonstrate that you believe would be most successful. How do the leadership characteristics relate to GGFRT's strategic objectives? Relate each leadership characteristic to a strategic objective (all strategic objectives don't need to be used). Explain your answers and present your sources. Question 7 IT Management and Governance Frameworks Conduct some research if necessary and respond to one of the following: Explain the differences between CoBIT and ITIL. Which of these methods do you feel is most appropriate for GGFRT? Thoroughly explain the justification for your choice, which will take some research on your part. A source is necessary for this response. If you would utilize both methods, which would you suggest was focused upon first? Please justify your response. Question 8 System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) From the research you conducted on the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) models, identify which model you would recommend for the IT organization at GGFRT? Relate your choice to one of the strategic objectives of GGFRT and thoroughly explain your answer. In addition, please discuss potential challenges to the successful implementation of the model.

SMF 101 Recipe for A Perfect Wife Relationship Advice Book Report
Part 1 – Relationship Advice (max 2 pages) : Select one of the pieces of “relationship advice” that are showcased throughout the novel. This advice (often quite dated/old fashioned) appears at the beginning of many of the chapters and is sprinkled throughout the book by the various characters.
Copy that piece of advice, in quotes, into your paper. Include a citation with the page number(s). Begin by demonstrating your understanding of the advice - what exactly is it “advising”? What does the advice mean (no more than 1 paragraph)? Then, by making connections to course content, outline what drew you to that quote and what it says about relationships and/or gender roles past, and how it may continue to permeate gender roles today. Be sure to provide examples from the fiction book (Karma Brown), course textbook, and lectures/extended content to substantiate your critique. Conclude this section by “rewriting” or creating your own modern version of the advice you selected that you would give to a person in an intimate relationship. Provide some justification for your “re-write” by referencing course content about why this advice is better. (Part 1: Max 2 double-spaced pages)
Part 2 – Theme Analysis (max 3 pages) :
Select ONE (1) theme/issue from the list below that plays out in Recipe for a Perfect Wife. Provide your analysis – connecting the analysis of the fiction book theme to course content (slides, external links, and textbook). Remember: this assignment requires that you demonstrate your understanding of course concepts by applying them to the characters (and their experiences) in the fiction novel.
Choose one theme only for your analysis (not multiple themes) – you do not have enough space to deeply analyze more than one theme.
Here are some suggestions for a theme you might like to write about:
Relationship dynamics and interplay with gender
Sexuality/Relationship (in)fidelity
Marriage/Relationship goals/Becoming a “Mrs.”
Family of Origin and how those experiences impact/influence one’s own relationship
LGBTQ+ (presence/absence)
How the concept of relationship “choices” plays out in this novel
Dating/Cohabiting/Selecting a partner
Inter-partner violence/abuse
Paid Work/Careers/Money & Finances
Relationship Communication/Trust/Honesty/Omissions
Housework/Gardening/Food Preparation
Planning/Not planning for children/Choosing not to have children
Pregnancy/Child Rearing
The following questions are designed to foster some thinking about your analysis.
Please do not treat these as a list of questions to be answered. They are guidelines and prompts to assist with your approach to the analysis. Remember that the strongest papers are those where the analysis is critical and nuanced (with lots of connections to the course material).
What “relationship” behaviours are people enacting? Societal? Gender? Internal pressures?
Why do people choose relationship behaviours that appear to have a negative impact on their personal and relationship well-being? What factors influence these unexpected/less than desirable outcomes?
What norms (e.g., cultural, gendered) influence how intimate partners “make choices”?
How do people find ways to push back or get around socially expected norms for their gender/relationships?
What are the consequences of certain choices (both positive and negative)?
How can interpersonal relationship interactions be influenced by positive and/or negative behaviours?
Part 3 -Your personal take-away/reflection (max 1 page) (worth 20/100): This book provides a challenging narrative through which to consider your own ideas and aspirations for your relational well-being -- past, present, and future. This fiction book is also strongly based on white, middle-class, Western, cis-gender, heterosexual, and monogamous norms about what a coupled relationship should entail.
Viewing this book through your own lens of experiences (e.g., your family of origin and those relationships you have witnessed/experienced, culture, race, religion, sexuality, other social locations, etc.) and any new knowledge acquired through this course and all its content, provide a one-page personal reflection (with citations to course content) on what you have learned from this course (so far).
Some questions you may want to consider as you write and reflect:
What lessons have you learned?
What has changed in your thinking about relationships?
What relational messaging have you received that you are now questioning and/or realize have merit?
What new goals do you have for a current or future relationship that have been influenced by this book and the accompanying course content?

South University Week 4 software application.Discussion
While designing a monitoring plan for your program or policy, if you discovered that different techniques for monitoring the implementation of the program or policy produced conflicting results, how would you reach an effective monitoring plan?Consider that the observation data monitoring technique suggests that, on average, staff members spend 1 hour per week on teaching life-skills to clients as the program intended, but the service record data monitoring technique suggests that staff spends 15 minutes on average teaching life-skills to clients, against the program’s intentions. What do you think could account for the discrepancy between different monitoring techniques?Among the different observational data collection techniques—narrative, data, and structured rating scheme, which technique do you consider to be the strongest approach? Which technique do you think is the weakest? Explain your rationale.Is it advisable to combine two or more observational data collection techniques? Are there any advantages to combining techniques? Are there any disadvantages to combining techniques? Discuss.
