IT that puts business at risk
- Major incidents: Business-critical system failures
- No needed change: Failed transformation
- Complexity: Extremely heterogeneous IT landscapes (instability, costs, too slow)
- Legacy system crisis: outdated IT, security gaps or compliance violations, such as SOX404 (systemic IT governance failure)

IT leadership crisis
