Create Your IT Strategic Plan
For most institutions, IT is a bolt-on consideration in strategic planning—if it even makes an appearance at all. IT strategic planning fills the gap, ensuring that IT efforts are organized to maximize contribution to institutional strategic goals. An IT strategic plan documents and communicates the outputs of this process and provides a pathway forward for the CIO’s team: the IT organization’s vision, mission, and strategic goals and objectives.
Assess readiness for strategic planning investment
IT strategic planning requires cooperation among many campus constituencies and broad information collection. The IT organization must commit to the creation of a future vision in which vital interests of constituents across the institution are at stake.
In short, it is not a small undertaking, and CIOs need to take the time to check their readiness—and the institution’s—to undertake an IT strategic planning process. Take the self-test from our IT Strategic Planning Preparation Playbook to assess your readiness.
