Strategic IT planning process begins
This is the June 2008 CIO column for
Computing@UW-Madison
The UW-Madison has begun developing a campus-wide strategic plan for information technology with active involvement from throughout our campus community. The CIO Office is leading the the planning process, which involves many representative campus groups and individuals. The majority of planning will occur over the summer, with a final plan available in late fall. There will be a series of campus forums, called Strategic Planning Mondays, organized around different aspects of the plan, and anyone from campus is invited to attend any of these sessions.
Previous plans for IT were developed by and for the Division of Information Technology (DoIT), almost exclusively for enterprise-wide technologies provided by DoIT. (DoIT's current plan is in Section 3 of DoIT's 2006-07 Annual Report.) This year, DoIT and other department units will create/update their strategic plans based on the results of the overall campus-wide planning efforts.
