Abstract: Abstract The need for improved implementation of IT strategy has been emphasised in both empirical and prescriptive research studies. In this study, 10 content characteristics of formal IT plans were identified from the research literature as potential implementation predictors. A survey was conducted in Norway to investigate the link between plan and implementation. The analysis of 190 surveyed companies with strategic IT plans revealed a significant relationship between content characteristics of the plan and the extent of plan implementation. Two implementation predictors proved significant in the testing of hypotheses: description of responsibility for the implementation and description of user involvement during the implementation.
