Abstract: A commonly used research methodology for identifying and explicating IS key issues is the Delphi method. Through reference to a recently completed study of major issues relating to an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system in the public sector, this paper describes an alternative Delphi-based methodology that addresses previously identified shortcomings of the traditional Delphi approach. More specific objectives of this paper are: to surface and address important issues in relation to the application of the Delphi method; to present a detailed description of the process for adapting and applying the alternative methodology described herein; and ultimately, to discuss the merits and shortcomings of the alternative methodology.
