General Session
Successful CIOs and CISOs understand the importance of collaboration and collegiality in higher education. They build and sustain relationships throughout the institution, as well as with their peers at other institutions, to identify IT priorities, garner needed resources, and lead change. They must have a firm grasp not only on their own units but also on the diverse departments and roles across the university (e.g., academic affairs, finance, admissions/recruiting, marketing, development/alumni relations, student affairs, institutional research, and more). We will discuss leadership responsibilities and broad institutional issues across non-IT areas and explore the intersections and opportunities presented by leveraging relationships.
Objectives: Identify means to cultivate effective working relationships at your institution and beyond *Recognize the primary focus of key non-IT operations and understand how those operations interact with information technology and the CIO *Develop a framework for a broad institutional view, based on the perspective of peers and colleagues in non-IT areas
