Help Drive IT at NC State

Posted: March 7, 2013

As a significant first step in determining the future of information technology (IT) at NC State, the NC State IT Strategic Planning Process Steering Team invites you to attend one of the following information- and idea-generating workshops:

Thursday, March 21
1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Walnut Room, Talley Student Center
Wednesday, March 27
2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
College of Textiles Convocation Center (Room 2309)

In these workshops, this newly created team hopes to engage you and other NC State IT stakeholders to help ensure broad-based support for a new university-wide IT strategic plan. This plan will provide both a vision and a framework for how the university’s comprehensive IT environment can best support and accelerate achievement of its mission, vision and goals, as conveyed in The Pathway to the Future: NC State’s 2011-2020 Strategic Plan.

You will be invited to share your beliefs about the current strengths and weaknesses of the IT services provided and supported by the university. In addition, you will be able to explore ideas for focusing IT resources in the coming years.

Your input from these workshops and the work of several campus IT groups — the IT Strategic Advisory Committee(ITSAC), the Campus IT Directors (CITD), and respective IT governance subcommittees — will be the driving forces to develop a university IT strategic plan.

By early fall 2013, the process steering team hopes to share an initial draft of the IT strategic plan with all stakeholders. By late October, the team expects to have the plan completed.

To find out more about the NC State IT Strategic Planning Process and to share your ideas, please come to one of the scheduled workshops. You may also visit the University IT Strategic Planning website.
