Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess the implementation success of strategic information systems planning (SISP) in Ghanaian organizations. The study adopted the qualitative approach and interviewed 20 managers from large organizations in diverse sectors and used content analysis in analyzing the data. The results indicate that the success of SISP depends largely on the Alignment of an organization’s Business Strategy to its IT Strategy, the Awareness of Top Management to utilize SISP in strategic planning, the Cooperation of all the functional units/levels of management in utilizing IS in their operations and the Capabilities of the employees in the firm. Findings further suggest that the available resources of the firms also play a key role in the SISP implementation Success. The study, therefore, concludes that adequate resources in terms of highly skilled manpower, financial resources, and financial commitment must be made available always to ensure SISP implementation success. In addition, policies should be formulated around these factors to ensure SISP implementation success for organizations that embark on SISP implementation.
