An organization has IT divisions distributed globally.

In DPI,alignment is achieved through cascading objectives: breaking down high-level organizational goals into increasingly detailed objectives at each layer of the organization. This ensures thatevery division, team, and activity is aligned to the overall strategic vision. Compliance controls (A) only enforce uniformity, not alignment. Risk prioritization (B) is important but narrower in scope. Collecting feedback (D) helps communication but does not ensure systematic alignment.
