  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”

  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.

  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
