Strategic plans are usually put in place in order to increase efficiency and to reduce cost. In the scenario given above, Iris has discovered a loophole in the IT strategic plan, because he is aware that a technology that is meant to reduce cost is not going to do so. Because of this, it is right for Iris to speak up and make that fact known. If he refuses to do this, the goal of the strategic plan to reduce cost will be defeated.
