If you have you been involved with a company doing a redesign of business processes, discuss what went right during the redesign and what went wrong from your perspective. Additionally, provide a discussion on what could have been done better to minimize the risk of failure.

 Review the included ISACA built risk case.  You will need to complete the tasks identified in the later part of these slides labeled To Do.  Re-evaluate the probability and risk level for all of the rows in table 2.  When you make your decision on the new probability rating, you will need to justify this with one to two articles.  When you identify the new risk level, you will need to identify two to three articles as examples or sources to justify the changes.  Don’t just move it up or down, use current news and trends with similar companies to justify why you moved or even kept it the same.  For each item, run a Quantitative or Qualitative risk analysis for a proposed mitigation.  In other words, find a fix for each item and put a price tag with it.  Decide what items are in budget and make your choice.  You will add three new columns to table 2, one will be a proposed mitigation plan with budget and risk level from the FAIR methodology, and the second column will be if your risk decision (accept, mitigate, transfer, avoid).  Submit the completed spreadsheet to the submission item in this week.  You will also need to answer the 10 discussion questions at the end of the slides and submit those with your spreadsheet, either as a second page with answers in the cells or as separate document.

Chapter 12 From the chapter reading, we learned that e-mail is a major area of focus for information governance (IG) efforts, and has become the most common business software application and the backbone of business communications today.  In addition, the authors provided details to support their position by providing 2013 survey results from 2,400 corporate e-mail users from a global perspective.  The results indicated that two-thirds of the respondents stated that e-mail was their favorite form of business communication which surpassed not only social media but also telephone and in-person contact. 

Q1: With this detail in mind, briefly state why the e-Mail has become a critical component for IG implementation?

Chapter 13 According to Franks and Smallwood (2013), information has become the lifeblood of every business organization, and that an increasing volume of information today has increased and exchanged through the use of social networks and Web2.0 tools like blogs, microblogs, and wikis.  When looking at social media in the enterprise, there is a notable difference in functionality between e-mail and social media, and has been documented by research that social media differ greatly from e-mail use due to its maturity and stability. (Franks & Smallwood, 2013).  

Q2: Please identify and clearly state what the difference is?

Should also include 2 replies to each question. So a total of 6 responses
