Although information systems strategy planning (ISSP) is vital to continuing organizational success and despite the existence of a multitude of frameworks and methods, organizations are still failing to deal effectively with IS planning problems. In order to help alleviate this problem, this article proposed and ISSP process. The article identifies separate process elements: phases, stages and modules of elementary activities. The proposed process aims to satisfy the need for a consistent linkage of IS strategy with corporate strategy by adopting elements of the corporate strategic planning literature. It provides a framework for enforcing the participation and involvement of managerial staff of the target organization and supports a structured team approach during the process's implementation. A case study of the approach illustrates the merits and pitfalls of the process. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
