Every job has its challenges, and the key is overcoming them. The interviewer will ask you this question to gain some understanding of how you approach a business challenge and what steps you take to overcome it. This can be considered a behavioral question because it asks you to describe how you would behave when facing a challenge. Behavioral questions are best answered within the STAR framework. This stands for Situation, Task, Action, and Result. Using this process, you can walk the interviewer through your answer in a systematic manner. Always emphasize the results, because that's what they are most interested in.

"The biggest challenge I had to face regarding Information and Communications Technology was getting corporate management to accept and adapt to the rapid pace of change in the industry. Many companies operate under the 'If it's not broke, don't fix it' mentality. However, this doesn't work within the ICT environment. Upgrades need to be implemented regularly to provide for a smooth transition as well as prepare for the next leap in technology. It's very difficult to skip stages in development within ICT. Doing so can create more issues than the new technology resolves. Progressive organizations are aware of this and have a development plan to overcome it."
