Being "effective" is best defined as

ADesign Effectiveness and Operating Effectiveness

BHigh performance

CGetting the job done right

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Being 'effective' is best defined as a combination of design effectiveness and operating effectiveness. Design effectiveness refers to how well a control or process is structured to achieve its intended outcomes, while operating effectiveness assesses how well the control or process is functioning in practice. Together, these dimensions ensure that controls are not only well-designed but also effectively implemented and operational. Reference:

I feel like "high performance" is too vague. "Getting the job done right" seems more specific, but I could be wrong.

I'm a bit confused about the definitions. Does "design effectiveness" really fit with being effective overall?

I remember a practice question that focused on performance metrics, so "high performance" could also be a strong contender here.
