Explanation
Within the COBIT goals cascade, stakeholder drivers are transformed into the enterprise's actionable strategy.
The COBIT goals cascade is a mechanism that helps enterprises to align their governance objectives with their stakeholder needs. It consists of four levels: stakeholder drivers, enterprise goals, alignment goals, and governance and management objectives. Stakeholder drivers are the needs or expectations of the internal or external stakeholders of the enterprise. Enterprise goals are the specific targets or outcomes that the enterprise sets to achieve its vision and mission. Alignment goals are the intermediate goals that link the enterprise goals with the governance and management objectives. Governance and management objectives are the desired outcomes of the governance system for information and technology. Stakeholder drivers are transformed into enterprise goals through a process of analysis, prioritization, and validation. Enterprise goals form the basis of the enterprise's actionable strategy.12 COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology, COBIT 2019 Framework: Governance System
