The best way for the CIO to validate IT’s preparedness for adopting wearable technology to improve business performance is to request an enterprise architecture (EA) review. An EAreview is a comprehensive analysis of the current and future state of the enterprise’s IT architecture, including its alignment with the business strategy, goals, and objectives. An EA review can help identify the gaps, risks, opportunities, and requirements for implementing wearable technology in the enterprise, as well as evaluate the feasibility, costs, benefits, and impacts of the initiative. An EA review can also provide recommendations and guidance for the design, development, integration, and governance of wearable technology solutions within the enterprise’s IT environment. According to COBIT 5, one of the seven enablers of IT governance is enterprise architecture1. The EA review is also part of the IT governance domain 2: Strategic Alignment2. References := 1: COBIT 5: A Business Framework for the Governance and Management of Enterprise IT, ISACA, page 312: CGEIT Review Manual 2023, ISACA, page 69.
