Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
To remain competitive in the present dynamic environment, 'governance for agility' has become a key solution. Past literature paid little attention to understanding how governance for agility, particularly in regard to the delivery of Information Technology IT implementation. Using agile organisation and IT-governance theory as lenses to analyse data from a hospital case study, a strategic process model of governance for agility is empirically derived. This model suggests that agile healthcare information technology implementation is achievable via phase-based IT-governance strategies and forms which authorise decision makers to maneuver resources strategically in a dynamic environment. Theoretically, this study contributes to the dearth of empirical understanding of IT governance in the Healthcare IT literature and advances knowledge by making a conceptual distinction through introducing the use of phase-based IT-governance strategies and forms to generate agile organisational capabilities to achieve agile Healthcare IT implementation. The findings serve as a foundation for future research within the information systems IS discipline. Practitioners could plan an agile Healthcare IT implementation by referring to the model-a systematic roadmap for governing and strategising hospital resources and capabilities. |
