Information Technology Strategic Planning 2008-09
For the first time, UND will conduct a fact-finding and strategic planning process for information technology with active involvement from throughout the campus community. UND Chief Information Officer, Joshua Riedy, will lead the development and implementation of the plan, and the planning process will involve many representative campus groups and individuals. The process will weigh existing resources and services, perceived strengths and weaknesses, and strategies for delivering significant improvements to the campus. The majority of the fact-finding aspect will occur this fall, while the strategic planning process will begin soon after the holidays. There will be a series of campus forums organized around different aspects of the plan, and anyone from campus is invited to attend any of these sessions. Discussions with campus leaders led to the creation of the following preliminary framework and content areas:
- Teaching and Learning (classroom technologies)
- Outreach & Public Service (serving the campus community)
- Core & Enabling Infrastructure (basic technology building blocks of the campus)
- Research (data analysis and proposal development)
- Applications/Services for Faculty, Staff, Students and Organizations (software and services for IT delivery campus wide)
- Athletics (data management)
- Enterprise Administration (system technology: ConnectND, HECN, IVN, ODIN)
The forums will be facilitated by UND’s Office of Conflict Resolution. The first round of forums is scheduled for the week of October 27. A tentative schedule is listed below. Additional information:
