Abstract
Good management information system (IS) is the key of success of good IT governance and this can only be achieved if all strategic goals of the company are respected. That’s why, it will be necessary to ensure alignment with general objectives, to respond to the business model of the company and to define and anticipate the orientations of technical and economic choices.
In this context, strategic alignment is applied to two elements: Business strategy and IT strategy and allows them to be linked [1]. However academics are more interested about the part concerning the strategic alignment [2, 3] and neglect the ideal conditions of its operation and continuous improvement.
This works presents a model gathering between the concepts of strategic alignment presented by the Strategic alignment model (SAM) and principles of lean management presented by PDCA method.
