Answer to Question 1

A steering committee is a group of senior managers from the major business functions that works with the CIO to set the IS priorities and decide among major IS projects and alternatives. The steering committee serves an important communication function between IS and the users. In the steering committee, information systems personnel can discuss potential IS initiatives and directions with the user community. At the same time, the steering committee provides a forum for users to express their needs, frustrations, and other issues they have with the IS department.
Typically, the IS department sets up the steering committee's schedule and agenda and conducts the meetings. The chief executive officer (CEO) and other members of the executive staff determine the membership of the steering committee.
