Why each option

Business outcome-based selling presents financial challenges due to competing stakeholder goals, distributed financial resources, and lengthy IT adoption cycles.

ACompeting stakeholder goals and expectations.Correct

Competing stakeholder goals make it difficult to establish a unified financial outcome to pursue, leading to budget conflicts and challenges in allocating funds effectively for a shared business result.

BDifficulty to determine external value.

Difficulty to determine external value primarily relates to market valuation or competitive positioning, which is not a direct internal financial challenge for implementing outcome-based selling initiatives.

CFinancial resources are distributed across functional areas.Correct

When financial resources are scattered across different functional areas, it impedes the ability to centralize investment for cross-functional initiatives required by outcome-based solutions, thus creating funding obstacles.

DCompetitive analysis is often incomplete.

Incomplete competitive analysis is a strategic or market intelligence issue, not an intrinsic financial challenge related to the allocation or management of an organization's financial resources for outcome-based selling.

EIT adoption and implementation may have long business cycles.Correct

Long business cycles for IT adoption and implementation defer the realization of financial benefits, presenting a cash flow and ROI justification challenge for businesses investing in outcome-based solutions.
