This raised concerns about organizational decision-making. The CIO has been asked to review who makes key IT decisions, and how these decisions are being made.

Establish a risk-based approach to define the key roles and stakeholder groups involved in various types of initiatives, which would help to delegate decision-making to the right levels
Establish open lines of communication between IT decision-makers and executives about decisions being made, which would help each level understand who is making what decisions
