Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D. E.DE.
The CEO should be appointed as the Executive for the project because of two key reasons:
He has the authority to commit resources as required - this means that he has the power to allocate the necessary funds and resources to the project, making sure that it is adequately resourced and has the necessary support to succeed. This is crucial in ensuring that the project is given the resources it needs to meet its objectives.
He has an overall perspective of the business's strategic requirements - as CEO, he has a broad understanding of the company's overall objectives and priorities. This enables him to ensure that the project is aligned with the company's strategic goals and is consistent with the broader business objectives. This is essential in ensuring that the project contributes to the overall success of the company and helps to advance its strategic direction.
While the other options provide useful information about the CEO's background and experience, they do not directly relate to the specific requirements of this project. The fact that the CEO started the company 25 years ago and knows his job very well, for example, are certainly valuable attributes but they do not necessarily qualify him to be the Executive for this project. Likewise, the fact that he restricts his visits to the engineering area is not directly relevant to his ability to lead this project.
