A business led approach to Information Systems Planning,
By A Customer
This review is from: Strategic Planning for Information Systems (Hardcover)
The latest edition of Strategic Planning for Information Systems provides vital guidance for anyone working in this area - in business or in academia. There are no easy answers and the authors provide readers with the concepts and tools they need to tackle the key challenges and develop an IS Strategy for their organisation.The introduction of a section on Benefits Managment is particularly useful.

Poorly written.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Strategic Planning for Information Systems (Hardcover)
The text is poorly written and rife with grammatical errors. It reads like the author(s) were producing a thesis and were being graded on word-count. They refer to their own research to justify their position. Other statements have no citations to refer to. I doubt if many organizations utilize even a forth of the practices the text suggest. What organization has the time and/or resources to expend on these ideas? I would rather read CIO magazine as it reads better and gets to the point.If I could, I would get my money back because it is definitely not worth $100+. At best, $20.

This review is from: Strategic Planning for Information Systems, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
Run IS/IT as a service business? Then you need this book which apply popular business consulting world technique to IS/IT. Value chain by M. Porter and 2x2 portfolio adapted from BCG are the two most important techniques to explore.And you need to know where you are now and where you are going to in order to obtain a really useful strategy. The 3-era-5-stage reference model introduced here is a very powerful tool to position yourself right. The authors also explored 4 important strategy subject areas for IS/IT: information, application, technology and resource. Which provide useful insight for us. Want to see more reviews on this item?
