    (International Journal of Technology and Systems, 2018-12) Chege, Stanley; Wanyembi, Gregory; Nyamboga, Constantine
    Purpose: The study aimed at establishing the relationship between the IT enterprise architecture maturity and the business performance for the banking industry in Kenya. Methods: The study involved analyzing qualitative data first and then the quantitative data. The study employed stratified sampling. The population was made up of 39 banks. The 6 Tier banks were the sample size of the study. The participants were the CEO, CFO and CIO of these banks. The study used correlation design (multiple regression). Results: The results from the assessment of the six Tier-one banks show that some banks clearly do a better job of imbedding the best practices in IT enterprise architecture. The higher alignment maturity levels are linked with better business performance measures including the ROA and NPM. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Achieving significantly higher levels of IT enterprise architecture maturity across a wider range of organizations is a long-term journey. The journey in each organization begins with a complete assessment of how business views IT and how IT views business. The journey continues with how business and IT executives work together to close the gaps and improve the performance of the organization. And in the quest for continuous improvement within a dynamic global environment, the journey may never end.

    IT Workforce Planning Practices in Kenya
    (International Journal of Innovation and Economic Development, 2022-02) Chege, Stanley; Wanyembi’s ,Gregory; Nyamboga, Constantine; Obrenovic ,Bojan
    With looming talent shortages and the mainframe era IT staff retirement, workforce planning is necessary in order to maintain business continuity. Without a dedicated workforce plan, CIOs and business leaders will be unable to meet the business requirements of the future. To 46% of business leaders, workforce planning is a top priority, yet only 13% do it effectively. The aim of the study is to provide a guidance on best practices in workforce planning to all the organizations in Kenya. The findings are that some organizations in Kenya have executed and implemented best practices in workforce planning. There is a positive relationship between good workforce planning practices and business performance.
