      What to Avoid

      Avoid leaving the interviewer with the sense that you would solely deliver the technology vision to the business. ITBCs are experts but are often generalists on the specific areas of business they are hired to consult on. Interviewers may not select candidates that fail to properly demonstrate an inclusive process.

      Answer Example

      "I would begin by partnering with the experts within the business to perform a current state SWOT analysis. The goal would be to define what is working well, what needs improvement, and what threatens their success. From there, I would use an assessment matrix to compare the frequency and level of business impact for the items uncovered during the SWOT analysis. Finally, I would work with my clients to craft a high-level vision that honors their company's defined values and addresses the most impactful items uncovered during our discovery sessions."
