A competency-based system for supporting corporate information systems planning

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to address a framework to suggest a set of To-Be enablers for planning strategic information systems. One feature of the framework is the incorporation of measuring incomplete preferences in IT and process competency of experts. This paper presents a competency-based decision support system for supporting corporate strategic information systems planning (SISP), which is based on a prescriptive group decision making method showing how to aggregate experts' incomplete preference judgments. The system is suggested on the competency leverage concept for selecting technical or organizational enablers to attain organizational business objectives. We put the competencies between the objectives and enablers, measure the importance rates of competencies on the objectives, and derive target enablers for the company. This system is implemented in practice via a detailed three stage methodology. The three stages are defining current business, analyzing competency, and suggesting To Be Enablers. We apply the system to SISP task of a Korean manufacturing company.
