The efficiency of strategic alignment: Determining the level of efficiency of the alignment of information systems with corporate strategy: Doctoral consortium paper

Abstract

This article presents the current state of the preliminary work done in research on the topic of efficiency of the alignment of an information system with the corporate strategy. The work is the result of investigating both professional and scientific literature, and includes feedback obtained from various companies in which the author has been working during the last six years on the context of advisory services. This research favours an empirical approach for the construction of a model to calculate efficiency within a company. In order to calculate the point of efficiency of strategic alignment, it is necessary to position the subject of the study in a framework and a specific and weighted ontology. The model resulting from the work will be tested and improved within one organization, before being rolled out for wider use.
