Work through the Module 9: Lab Activity (located in this module) and submit the deliverables listed in the document to this assignment submission folder for a grade. This assignment is due by Sunday at 11:59 PM CT.

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

Your initial post should be a minimum of 300 words.

When you think about the thousands of interactions you’ve had over your lifetime, which nonverbal elements have you found the most persuasive on/to you?  Which nonverbal communication traits do you wish you were able to use more successfully in your life?

 Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double-spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course (security architecture and design) have been applied, or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not current working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study.

Review the Pine Valley Furniture Company Background in Ch. 3, p. 40 of your textbook, found in the Wk 1 Learning Activities folder.

Imagine you work for Pine Valley Furniture. The board is considering starting a webstore and does not know what is involved in developing a new system. You have been asked to present to the board of directors to help them know what to expect.

Prepare a 12- to 16-slide presentation to the board with speaker notes and media such as graphics or tables. (See below information for PP guidelines).

Explain why it is important to use systems analysis and design methodologies when building a system. Justify why not to “just build the system” in whatever way appears to be “quick and easy.”

Review the criteria for selecting off-the-shelf software presented in Ch. 2. Identify additional criteria that are, or might be, used to select off-the-shelf software.

Consider if the choice was between alternative custom software developers rather than prewritten packages. Identify the criteria that would be appropriate to select and compare among competing bidders for custom development of an application. Be sure to briefly define each of these criteria

Question 1

Describe, in your own words, what caused the accidents with Therac-25?

Question 2

Identify and describe 5 communication failures discussed in the article. For each failure, discuss what led to that failure happening and what could have been done to prevent it.

Some of these communication failures are obvious, but some are more subtle. Communications failures include any instance where somebody tried to transmit information to somebody else but couldn’t, regardless of the specifics.

It helps to remember that communication failures are often mediated through systems (i.e. we build things to communicate for us and these can fail to give our message when they should). For example, if I was trapped on a desert island and put a message in a bottle, that’s an attempt at communication. If the bottle sank 5 months later in a storm, that’s a communication failure.
