Which is NOT an essential consideration when developing a digital strategy?

Question

Options

• AUnderstanding which systems will form die digital technology programme
• BUnderstanding emerging technologies Hal could affect the organization
• CUnderstanding how to identify potential opportunities
• DUnderstanding the risks involved with digital opportunities

• A
  77% (30)
• B
  5% (2)
• C
  15% (6)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because selecting specific systems belongs to the implementation/tactical phase, not the strategic planning phase - a digital strategy defines direction, opportunities, and risk appetite before deciding which technologies to deploy. Options B, C, and D are all genuine strategic considerations: understanding emerging technologies (B) ensures the strategy stays forward-looking and competitive; identifying potential opportunities (C) is the core purpose of any strategy; and evaluating risks (D) is fundamental to making informed strategic decisions. In short, strategy answers what and why - system selection answers how, making A the outlier.

Memory tip: Think "Strategy = Horizon, not Hardware." If a choice sounds like something an IT project manager decides after the strategy is set (like picking specific systems), it's not a strategic consideration.
