Seminar 08P - Getting the Community Involved in Campus IT Decisions (separate registration required)

Tuesday, November 06, 2012 | 1:30PM–5:00PM | Meeting Room 501/502
Session Type: E12
Managing IT initiatives, projects, and services in an academic environment is a complex undertaking. The ability to effectively analyze needs, build consensus, and develop strong partnerships is critical to success. This seminar will engage participants in actively exploring and practicing methods for engaging cross-campus constituencies to build consensus around IT initiatives. We will present strategies for framing the problem, identifying the community to be involved in resolving the problem, organizing the teams and sponsors of your project, engaging the community, progressing from engagement to consensus, moving from consensus to implementation, and maintaining and evolving the community as the resource matures. For each of these strategies, we will lead you in developing high-level plans and materials to kick off a project or initiative on your campus. Using an active learning, team-based approach, you'll share and refine your individualized plan using input from fellow participants.
