Communicating Strategic IT Vision to Organization Members: A Conceptual Framework

Abstract

The development, communication, use, and benefits of organizational strategic visions have been well documented. Visions focus the enterprise on achieving their strategic goals. Little research has been done to date on the development, communication, and benefits of strategic visions for information technology. Based on a review of the strategic management, information systems, organizational theory, and change management literature, we present a conceptual framework for the development, communication, and potential benefits of a strategic vision for information technology and its alignment with the overall organizational strategic vision.
