Reviewing the IT balanced scorecard sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it's the best first action. I think it might be more relevant after we figure out the immediate staffing needs.

I feel like performing a risk assessment on outsourcing could be a good start, especially if we're worried about sourcing IT properly. It might help identify potential issues early on.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about updating the enterprise architecture being important when integrating new technology. Maybe that's the right choice?

I think the first step should be to assess the gap between current and required staff competencies. It seems crucial to understand what skills we actually need before making any decisions.

This is a good one. I think the key is to focus on the word "FIRST" in the question. That tells me I need to identify the initial step that will set the stage for the other actions. I'm leaning towards option D - assessing the gap in staff competencies.

I'm a little confused by this question. The options all seem relevant, but I'm not sure which one is truly the "first" step. I'll need to re-read the question carefully and think through the sequence of actions.

Okay, I've got this. The question is asking about the FIRST course of action, so I need to identify the option that sets the stage for the other steps. I think assessing the gap between current and required staff competencies is the logical place to start.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. There are a few different options that could work, but I'm not entirely sure which one would be the best first step. I'll need to think through the pros and cons of each approach.

This question seems straightforward - I think the key is to identify the first step that should be taken to address the issue of IT not being properly sourced. The options cover different approaches, so I'll need to carefully consider which one is the most appropriate first step.
