Abstract: Abstract If the exploitation of IT can neither be prescribed or summoned up, must the formulation of strategic system initiatives be left purely to chance? Although an organisation cannot act like a ‘short order cook’ whenever it is asked to determine a strategic information system, there are a number of initiatives which can be taken in order to stimulate, capture and communicate IT or information–related innovations. As they are presented, the initiatives are focused on end–user application and the organisational outcome of applying IT to produce or process information more effectively or more imaginatively. However, the principles can equally be applied to the technologists within your organisation by changing the focus from using IT more effectively to that of providing high–quality, cost–effective technical solutions.
