Episode 61 — Build business cases that connect IT spend to measurable enterprise outcomes (3B1)
This episode teaches you how to build business cases that link IT spending to measurable enterprise outcomes, because CGEIT questions frequently test whether you can justify investment decisions with evidence, assumptions, and accountability rather than enthusiasm. You’ll break down what makes a business case governance-ready, including clear strategic alignment, options analysis, cost and risk transparency, dependency mapping, and benefits that are defined in measurable terms with an owner who can verify them later. We’ll cover common weak points like overstated benefits, missing operational costs, ignored security and compliance impacts, and benefits that depend on behaviors no one is accountable for changing. Real-world scenarios include modernization proposals that promise agility without measurable targets, vendor initiatives that hide lock-in costs, and transformation programs that lack baselines to prove improvement. For exam readiness, you’ll learn to choose answers that strengthen decision quality through credible evidence, documented assumptions, and measurable outcomes tied to enterprise objectives.
