As a continuation of the BerryDunn engagement led by the IT Review Steering Committee, the IT Strategic Governance Committee (ITGov) is sponsoring the development of the University-wide IT Strategic Plan.  This effort was facilitated by higher-education consultants from BerryDunn, a Management and IT Consulting firm.

Goals of the IT Strategic Plan Project are:

• To have a collaborative, inclusive process with University leadership and stakeholders to develop a University-wide five-year IT Strategic Plan that incorporates the recommendations resulting from the IT Assessment Report.
  • This includes ensuring the plan incorporates, supports and contributes to the University’s missions, academic and strategic plans, and goals.
  • Stakeholders include: faculty, researchers, students, administrators and staff.
