Chapter 17 Assessment of Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) Techniques from Requirement View ABSTRACT This study reviews Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) literature with a focus on the global dimension. The research evaluates SISP techniques against Information System (IS) strategic require- ments. These techniques can be vital contributors in the IS Strategy (ISS) design process. Therefore, classifcation of the techniques of ISS planning is developed. Keeping in mind the global dimension, the planning team needs to identify how it can cluster the ISS requirements of an organisation. This may be achieved by analysing the benefts that can be obtained by IS for the organisation. The result of this research is the taxonomy of SISP techniques with a case study for X airlines. This classifcation can ben- eft the evaluation of ISS planning processes to support decision makers through the planning process. INTRODUCTION Organisations look to obtain the maximum ben- efit from their resources and reduce their risk as much as possible. They attempt to use all of their resources efficiently, effectively, and competi- tively. In so doing, there appears a need to link all of the resources in a way that allows them to be controlled, creative, flexible, and educational. From this point of view, there is also a need to determine the significant processes within the entire organisation. The processes are not only important, but they also share activities beyond the business unit to be completed.
