IT Optimization and Strategic Planning Support Systems

The research will carried out in partnership with Tulkita Technologies. The company is
interested in the market viability for a web-based tool supporting IT strategic planning and
plan execution. To help establish the scope of needs that this tool should address, the
research will focus on three key issues: IT governance, IT strategic planning and IT change
management. Through comparing the academic literature with surveys of IT professionals,
the study will identify potential gaps between what IT professionals should be focusing on (as
present in the current body of knowledge on the subjects) and what is available in the form of
strategic planning support systems. This will allow the company to assess the viability of
bringing a new strategic planning support system to market, to help IT professionals increase
the strategic value created by their organizations
