Planning and implementing an appropriate IS strategy produces that organisational confidence that will cost-effectively deliver these strategic systems.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The surveys of the 1980s consistently a place improved IS strategic planning first on any list of concerns for both user and IS management. Strategic planning results in a strategic plan and like any other plan or strategy, once identified and documented, needs receiving as part of an ongoing planning process. Until an update is made, it is the focal point or all implementation decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The purpose of strategy planning for IS is to identify the most appropriate targets for technological support and to schedule that technology for adoption. To a large extent, the strategy<br>planning process must establish appropriate levels of shared commitments since such plan is intended to shape decision on future IS. The process is not just to decide on issues visible now; such a focus would more conventionally be called an operating plan.<br>Information System <a href=\"https:\/\/motivemeaning.blogspot.com\/2022\/04\/strategic-planning.html\">Strategic Planning<\/a> \u201cTool Kit\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Usually, the discussion on a range of tools that might contribute to an IS planning \u201ctool kit\u201d are often lengthy. However, attempts will be made to list the important aspects as these are very much related to the tools discussed on the general business management strategies in units 1 to 15 of this course. These \u201ctool kit\u201d have been put into a checklist to shorten the unit and facilitate quicker understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/motivemeaning.blogspot.com\/2022\/04\/swot-analysis.html\">Strengths Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/motivemeaning.blogspot.com\/2022\/04\/swot-analysis.html\">SWOT<\/a>) analysis forms a conventional and an essential tool in any strategic planning approach. SWOT has as its strength, the fact that it is very familiar and its purpose and categories are well known. It is also considered both as external and internal factors and when properly used can balance the two. SWOT analysis in IS includes the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">a. Approach to Information System (IS)<br>b. Use of IS<br>c. Delivery of IS<br>d. Data management<br>e. Technical skills.<br>Therefore, the SWOT analysis is a reminder of the need for balance and attempts to judge the options available. Therefore, having become<br>aware of the potential effect of Information System, we can use SWOT to weight up the risks involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/ru\/master-monitoring-and-evaluation-in-5-minutes\/\">Evaluation<\/a> of Information System Capability<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td rowspan=\"2\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 5.65pt 15.0pt 5.65pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\">Threats opportunity the information faces<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td><td>\n<p style=\"line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 15pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\">Attack<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\">\u201cgo for it\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td><td>\n<p style=\"line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 15pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\">Beware<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\">\u201cdo don&#8221;t do it\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n<p style=\"line-height: 115%; margin: 12.0pt 0cm 14.0pt 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\">Explore<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\">\u201cif have time \u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td><td>\n<p style=\"line-height: 115%; margin: 11.0pt 0cm 14.0pt 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\">Project<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\">\u201cwatch yourself\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><b style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\">&nbsp;Possible Responses on Basis of SWOT Analysis<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Business_Opportunities_Offered_by_Information_System\"><\/span><b><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"mso-tab-count: 1;\">&nbsp;<\/span>Business Opportunities Offered by Information System<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;\">Books have been written on the opportunities that result from the impact of Information System on industries and business.
