Question

You have been promoted to the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) position within your organziation. The Chief Operations Officer wants to add a requirement to all contracts involving vehicle-related acquisition (transportation services, vehicle purchase, etc.) requiring the installation of a monitoring system. The system would provide information on vehicle speed and location, among other data. You have reservations, and know that, in the same way having a second set of eyes proofread a paper is helpful, another person can provide affirming or corrective perspective. Also, having an ally to support your views in a meeting offers valuable credibility beyond your interpretation of facts and data. The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) shares some of your concerns, which may include:

a. Information collection is boring.
b. No one will monitor the data collected.
c. Both "a" and "b" are correct.
d. As a company, your risk of being sued is increased, and data could be used to support a claim against you if there is an accident, critical materials shipment delay, or other conflict.

Answer 1

d. As a company, your risk of being sued is increased, and data could be used to support a claim against you if there is an accident, critical materials shipment delay or other conflict.

Step-by-step explanation:

There can be claims against the company and this data can be used as evidence against the company itself. The company should monitor the data and keep the data to limited personnel access. There can be monitoring in other ways which can help the company to keep track of all the vehicles related transactions.
