The development and implementation of a Strategic Information Plan (SIP) is both a complex and dynamic undertaking. The SIP is complex because its content directly flows from the business strategies and activities of your company. The SIP is dynamic because management must implement it in an environment consisting of human beings. While developing a SIP is one project, implementing the SIP is another project altogether. The dual nature of a SIP as both development and implementation makes the SIP a Strategic Business Program with a well defined life cycle.
