Abstract: A strategic value model provides an ability to evaluate the feasibility of implementing an information technology initiative. The flow process begins by gathering information associated with the operation of the business in categories pertaining to the information technology initiative desired to be implemented. Strategic value ratings are applied to each criteria in the categories. The initiatives are categorized so that like initiatives are assessed against each other. A determination is made to identify which initiatives are to be funded in accordance with the applied strategic value ratings. Funding can then be established for an initiative based on this determination.
