Management is concerned that a mass resignation by many disgruntled personnel could shut down these key systems. Which of the following should be IT governance’s PRIMARY responsibility for addressing this risk?

  • A Renegotiate employment agreements to lessen the likelihood of a mass resignation.
  • B Cross train management to assume support of the technology.
  • C Develop a resourcing strategy that quickly replaces staff.
