The Strategic Leader

Monday, July 22, 2019 | 10:45AM–12:00PM MT | Alpine West Ballroom, second level
Session Type: General Session

The pervasiveness of technology in a modern university, together with the high expectations for a typical IT organization, result in daunting challenges for CIOs and CISOs. Strategic leadership is required to meet these challenges. To be effective, today’s leaders must understand the institutional culture and mission, have rock-solid judgment, and deliver results. We will explore the key roles, aspects, and skills of successful higher education technology leaders.


Objectives:
  • Review the key findings from “A Model for IT Leadership”
  • Gain awareness of the broad portfolio of a typical higher education IT organization
  • Explore mission and culture, governance models, and the importance of aligning resources with institutional priorities
