The manager of a team of highly skilled professionals often handles challenging problems personally in an effort to demonstrate expertise.
Which TWO are the MOST LIKELY consequences of this behaviour?
Decisions take longer
Employee morale improves
Decisions are made quickly
Employee morale suffers
DPI governance principles highlight that when managers centralize decisions and problem-solving, it creates bottlenecks (delays in decision-making) and reduces team empowerment, leading to lower morale. Thus, options 1 (decisions take longer) and 4 (employee morale suffers) are the consequences. The behaviour undermines delegation of authority and staff empowerment, which DPI stresses as essential for effective governance and oversight.

An organization recently established a continual improvement team to promote and enable continual improvement throughout the SVS. The members of the team are discussing the team's role in continual improvement across the organization.
Which is the BEST description of the team's role in this situation?
According to DPI, the continual improvement team's role is to promote a culture of improvement across the organization. Their purpose is not to own every improvement but to empower all staff to recognize and propose improvements. By enabling knowledge, training, and cultural reinforcement, they encourage everyone to participate. Options A and C are too narrow, and D is too rigid since the continual improvement model is guidance, not a strict sequence.

A service provider is implementing a new self-service portal for users to request access to IT services. The portal will be made available to 5000 users across 50 sites.
Which is the BEST guidance for producing guidelines for users of the self-service portal?
DPI and the guiding principle ''Keep it simple and practical'' stress that guidance should be clear, concise, and user-friendly. With 5000 users, simple guidelines prevent confusion and reduce support overhead. Explicit instructions on who to contact for exceptions ensures smooth adoption. Options A and D risk overwhelming users with detail, while B shifts responsibility to the service desk instead of empowering users.

An organization uses an external service provider to develop and support a critical application. They have asked the supplier to make improvements as users have been complaining that the application is difficult to use.
What would be a suitable SMART KPI for measuring this improvement?
In DPI, KPIs must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound). Option B is the only one that fully meets SMART criteria:
Specific (user satisfaction with the application),
Measurable (30% increase),
Achievable (reasonable improvement target),
Relevant (directly tied to usability),
Time-bound (six months).
Options A and D lack measurable objectivity, while C is too broad and long-term.
