For your initial post, consider the following scenario.
After internal security issues nearly ruined the business, an organization is looking to hire a new chief information officer (CIO) to institute a new governance design. In addition, the new CIO will need to decide whether to use an acceleration or containment strategy to address user computing.
For this interactive assignment, you will take on the role of a perspective candidate for the CIO position and propose to the executives of the organization a governance design that you would implement. In a separate document, create a diagram that depicts your governance design and attach it to the initial post.
Within the initial post, explain the role of information systems governance in business and why the CIO role has become so important.
Explain the strategy you would use as the CIO to support user computing (i.e., acceleration or containment) and provide a rationale for why you selected one over the other. In addition, explain the governance design you created and would implement as the CIO of the organization. Provide at least three implementation examples to support your design selection and user computing rationale
