Our research investigated the success of SISP as a function of its key success factors (KSFs) in different
contexts and SISP approaches, in a framework that integrated all of the SISP components and provided a

Based on responses from 172 American CIOs, our study’s findings empirically supported our research
model: the combination of SISP context and approach was found to have a moderating influence on the
basic relationship between SISP KSFs and its success, the best predictor for the long-term success of the
SISP process was apparently based on the three-way interactions between SISP’s KSFs, its approach and
its context. In addition, specific combinations of SISP approach and SISP context were found to decrease
or increase the size of the ‘‘planning paradox’’ (the inconsistency in the behavior of the ‘‘basic
