  4. Quick Review • Lederer and Sethi (1988) defined SISP as … “the process of deciding the objectives for organizational computing and identifying potential computer applications which the organization should implement”

  5. Quick Review • SISP involves: • Aligning Investment in IS with Business Goals • Exploiting IT for Competitive Advantage • Directing Efficient & Effective Management of IS Resources • Developing Technology Policies and Architectures

  7. Research Methodology • Goal: To discover the intents, outcomes and experiences of SISP efforts • 2-Stage Survey - • Stage 1: Examined case histories of six companies previously studied • Stage 2: In-depth interviews w/ 3 stakeholders from each co. (total of 63 execs. interviewed) : • IS Director or IS Strategic Planner: Suggest what can be achieved technically • CEO or General Manager: Set direction and policies • Senior Line or User Manager: Contribute application ideas or make system requests

  9. Objectives and Benefits of SISP Respondents asked to state their firms’ current objectives of SISP

  10. Agenda • Quick Review • Case Study in Textbook • Research Methodology • Objectives and Benefits of SISP • “Concerns” or Unsuccessful Features of SISP • Shift in Focus • SISP Approaches • Approaches vs. 3 Conditions of Success • Qualitative Measure • The Best Approach • Case Study • Conclusion • Discussion / Questions

  11. “Concerns” or Unsuccessful Factors Respondents asked in what ways SISP has been unsuccessful Top 5 of the 65 features contributing to dissatisfaction a.k.a. ‘Concerns’ • The 65 ‘Concerns’ were examined and two patterns emerged • Could be grouped almost equally into three distinct categories: • Method • Process • Implementation • Concerns could be grouped among the three Stakeholders: • IS Directors • General Managers • User Managers

  13. Shift in Focus • Prompted by the list of concerns and narrative histories of planning-related events, the focus of the study shifted and the object of analysis became the SISP approach. • When members of an organization describe how decisions on IS strategy are initiated and made, a coherent picture is gradually painted where the underpinning philosophy, emphasis, and influences stand out. .. …an approach is identified

  21. Qualitative Measure 1. Success: 2. Concerns: Most intensive approach in terms of technique earned highest score, perhaps because it represents what respondents thought an IS planning methodology should look like. Lacks formal methodologies; earned lowest score Least concerns total

  22. Qualitative Measure 3. Competitive Advantage: Most themes pursued were perceived to have produced a competitive advantage
