An enterprise is planning a transformation initiative by leveraging emerging technology that will have a significant impact on existing products and services Which of the following is the BEST way…

A balanced scorecard is a tool for measuring outcomes and performance, which is important *after* strategic alignment and planning are established, not the initial preparation step for a significant strategic shift.

Analyzing technology products and training needs are tactical steps that follow a strategic assessment; without first understanding the strategic impact, these analyses might be misdirected or incomplete.

Procuring resources is a subsequent implementation step that should only occur once the strategic impact has been assessed and the revised strategic direction, along with resource requirements, has been clearly defined.

When an enterprise undertakes a significant transformation leveraging emerging technology, the fundamental starting point for IT preparation is to assess its impact on the *existing IT strategy*. This assessment will determine if the current strategy is still viable, identify necessary adjustments or entirely new strategic directions, and ensure that all subsequent actions (like procurement or training) are aligned with the revised strategic goals for the transformation.
