One of the things I’ve always loved is a good puzzle, and what better time to start a thought exercise than the end of the week?

With that, I present you the seventh challenge:

There are many initiatives going on within a company all driven towards a common strategy. Some are departmental based and others involve the entire line of business. When you are looking at a strategic acquisition, these usually start at the line of business and build on from there.

With most IT departments, they will have their own goals to support the entire business, and word of the acquisition will definitely have an impact on what is currently in-flight (cloud migration and modernization work for example).

Looking at a very high level, what kinds of risks and rewards could this pose for you?

Hit REPLY and share your take. We can compare notes next week.

Have a wonderful weekend!
