| description |
Strategic information systems planning (SISP) is an exercise or ongoing activity that enables
organisations to develop priorities for information systems development. It has been suggested that
the ‘SISP approach’, a combination of method, process and implementation, is the most complete
way of describing SISP activity. Based upon questionnaire responses from 267 IT Directors, four
distinct approaches to SISP have been derived using cluster analysis. A comparison of these four
approaches with five approaches of Earl, M.J., 1993. Experiences in SISP, MIS Quarterly, (March),
1–24, indicates that three bear strong similarities to the ‘organisational’, ‘business-led’, and
‘administrative’ approaches, whilst the fourth cluster is related to both Earl’s ‘method-driven’ and
‘technological’ approaches. An analysis of the relationship between SISP approach and SISP success
demonstrates that the ‘organisational approach’ is significantly more successful than the other three
approaches. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. |
