Staff completed the first draft of the Campus Engagement project report shortly after Labor Day. Since then, they have been editing and revising that report.
To prepare for the next phase of Transform IT, Jessie Minton, chief information officer, will lead a Transform IT retreat in early October. During the two-day retreat, invited faculty, staff, students, and IT staff will discuss definitions, values, and principles. For example, the university will need to more clearly determine which services are used campus-wide (“enterprise” in technology terms), so the group will discuss the definition and differences between enterprise services and unique services. Retreat attendees will also discuss the principles and values that should guide the evaluation and potential restructuring of technology services.
The details discussed at the Transform IT retreat will be passed on to the Transform IT Steering Committee. See Steering and Service Transition Committees to Guide Upcoming Projects for more on plans for program governance.
Invitations for the Transform IT retreat in early October will go out during the week of September 17.
