In the changing and fast growing pace of technology, my position as a CIO has had to adapt to better align with our company’s business objectives. With the IT seemingly becoming more influential in the business world, it makes sense that the CIO will have more responsibilities in the company (Taewon Hwang, Discussion 1, 9:19 PM). Having a CIO as a business-strategy partner is key to alignment. Not only does he have to manage IT resources, he also must deploy and communicate IT capabilities in the way they align with the business strategic vision (Yves Laison, Discussion 1, 10:22 AM). The CIO certainly plays a crucial role in that competitive analysis, but so does every c-suite executive. I’d go a step further to say that I would expect the …show more content…
By revamping our perception and alignment of IT, we can change the “traditional view of IT as an expense rather than a revenue generator” (Luftman & Brier, 1999) (as cited, Danielle Lohmann, Discussion 1, 11:44 PM). As you mentioned, IT alignment is simply the confluence of organizational purpose and technology within the enterprise (John Nicolay, Discussion 1, 3:03 PM). With the integration of IT, it would seem like it would be a natural progression from one stage to the next, but changes without a strategic plan will fall short of expectation. In Discussion 1, Laxamana details the six types of enabler and inhibitors to alignment. Of the twelve total items, six directly pertains to the involvement of senior executives and/ or IT management and leadership. Executives should work towards minimizing those activities that inhibit alignment and maximize those activities that bolster it (Luftman & Brier, 1999) (as cited, Hsin Yien Laxamana, Discussion 1, 11:43 PM). Alignment is not a one-time event, it is a behavior that needs to be developed, cultivated, and sustained. My role as the CIO would be ensure the long-term development of alignment behavior, assessment of the company’s alignment maturity, and realign the IT department as necessary to maintain

Q2.Given an array of n elements that accepts non-repeated items, design an algorithm to sort the array in O(n) time. For example, n=15 Items: 23,67,34,2,5,12,7,43,28,90,58,3,74,50,48. Solution: #include #include typedef struct Node { int data; struct Node * next; } Node; Node * create_node(int val){ Node * temp = (Node *)malloc(sizeof(Node)); if(temp){ temp->data = val; temp->next = NULL; } return temp; } /* This function inserts node at the head of linked list */ void push(Node

Factors operating in Rancho Solano’s general and specific/internal environment to close two campuses in 2014 was changing the name of the school which lead to a new direction the school would go to in the future, the competition of charter schools in the same are as RSPS and finally and most importantly the economic recession from 2005 to 2011. These factors lead into each other why Rancho Solano closed two campuses. When the school went on to rename itself, this led people to rethink if this school was the best for their kids. The charter schools took this opportunity to show the customers that there schools were just as good if not better and with the economic recession going on it was cheaper because they were public. The evaluation of the
Part 1: It would effect everything on the planet, plants would be less able to produce the suns energy and living organisms would be in big trouble. A short term effect would be decreasing plant populations and a long term effect would be a decreasing population of every organism on the planet. i. Much like the first one, if the sun was completely blocked producers could not produce, thus consumers could not eat them and get energy and the decompress could not break down the organisms if they're not alive. It would result in the overall extinction of living organisms on earth. ii.
1. The search terms I used are information technology, threat environment, hacking, and malware. I chose these words because I think they are important in security, and companies need to have someone work as these job to protect and find out what’s going on and who attack their company. 2. I found more than a thousand jobs 3.
SCENERIO Baxter, a year three Aboriginal student who at age three developed a sensorineural hearing impairment after repeated exposure to Otitis Media. Baxter uses a cochlear implant on one ear, as the other was not viable. Unfortunately, due to bullying in previous years Baxter has limited confidence in his communication skills and will rarely speak aloud, except with the teacher privately, close friends, and family. Baxter often communicates using basic sign language, but relies heavily on gestures. He is currently working with a speech therapist to increase his speech and language skills and to increase his confidence.

Using technology can increase our access to information, improve teaching efficiency and can make learning more enjoyable. At the ASMS we use technology to enhance our learning during school assignments ad tasks. Maths and Abstract Thinking, a central studies topic, gave me the opportunity to use technology to create a company log during a functions and graphs folio task. Using GeoGebra , mathematical software, and my knowledge around functions and graphs I created a logo for a self-created business ‘Ashley Platt’s Delectable Delights’ (see figure 1). Using technology allowed me to plot inequalities and line equations, skills gathered during the topic, with ease to create an accurate and unique design that met the requirements of the task.
Cerberus Corporation has a traditional functional organisational structure in place which needs to change in order for most of the identified problems to be resolved. “A functional organizational structure (Clements & Gido, 2015:436) is one in which individuals are organized in groups that perform the same function or have the same expertise or skills.” 4.1. Functional organisation vs. Matrix organisation With the functional organisation, project teams can be formed whenever deemed necessary to work on internal company projects. In most cases, one of the team members or functional managers will take on the role of project manager.

Information Management Strategy is designed to provide a vision, priorities and plan for the best use of the company information assets. It aims to position the company for the future, taking an overall issues, sustainable approach to the development of robust systems infrastructure, good information governance, and an organisational culture of information sharing.

All of this tools will come from a chapter that we learn. 1) IT Infrastructure and Support Systems.(chapter 2)
The primary benefit of technology is efficiency. Businesses--from small businesses to large conglomerates--are capable of providing products and services at a faster, more efficient rate which can result in higher profits. In an effort to free resources and become more responsive, business leaders across the industry spectrum are reshaping their business priorities, stretching budgets and applying greater scrutiny to capital expenditures. Some have found that when a precarious economic climate requires quick action, a company can open new avenues for growth by strengthening and redefi ning what is truly core to its business.
Introduction Several authors have recognised that there of frequently inadequate alignment between the business and it strategy and also the business and IT infrastructure (Henderson and Vankatraman 1993; Y. E. Chan 2002), however, the practices, processes, and collaborations concerned in the planning and decision making regarding IT and IS need to be given attention and significance by the managers of a firm (Ward 2016). Managers are required to give this consideration throughout the entire organisation and not just in the IT department (Peppard and Ward 2004). Strategic Alignment model Whilst the business strategy positions the complete path for the firm, the IT strategy describes which IT systems, and architectures are required so as to
