Why each option
When a business strategy changes, the primary impact on IT governance would be on the performance outcomes of IT objectives.
When a business strategy changes, the primary impact on IT governance is the necessity to realign IT objectives to support the new strategic direction, thereby affecting the performance outcomes expected from IT. IT governance is responsible for ensuring that IT's contributions directly enable the achievement of business goals, and a change in business strategy mandates a re-evaluation of what constitutes successful IT performance.
While an IT governance structure might need adjustments to reflect a new strategy, this is a secondary effect; the initial and primary impact is on what IT is trying to achieve.
The maturity level of IT processes refers to their inherent quality and optimization, which is not directly and primarily impacted by a change in business strategy, though process adjustments may follow.
The relationship level with IT outsourcers might need review, but this is a specific operational or contractual aspect, not the primary governance impact of aligning IT with overall business strategy.
