Abstract

This paper reports on an action research study that used the Strategic Choice method. The method was used to support the prioritisation of information systems with respect to enhancing these systems within a public sector Health Department. Such decisions are notoriously complex, fuzzy, time consuming and political for stakeholders. The results of this study indicate that the Strategic Choice method offers the potential to reduce time commitment for stakeholders yet do so in a satisfactory manner.
