<strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>IT</strong> <strong>Planning</strong> <strong>Toolkit</strong> – Section 4: <strong>Strategic</strong> Framework<br />
33<br />
4.5 Summary<br />
This section presents how the strategy team and other core stakeholders can collectively establish the<br />
<strong>IT</strong> strategic framework based on the existing organizational strategy (<strong>for</strong> strategic <strong>IT</strong> alignment). This<br />
activity must be inclusive as much as possible to result in shared vision and goals. It is also important<br />
that a good knowledge of the existing capability is available to guide the development of feasible or<br />
relatively realistic goals. This implies that the <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>IT</strong> Framework and the <strong>IT</strong> Capability<br />
Assessment activity could be executed in parallel. Concrete <strong>IT</strong> goals also enable the assessment<br />
exercise to focus more on areas of interest. The feedback loops from these two activities could be<br />
exploited <strong>for</strong> more effective results.<br />
