ITS Strategic Plan
The ITS Strategic Plan covering years 2008-09 through 2012-13 has been submitted to the University Planning Office and is available on the ITS strategic plan wiki at
https://confluence.et-test.psu.edu/display/stratplan/home
This same site now also has information about two Plan activities that will be done in partnership with the University Libraries.
We have tried to make this a collaborative process. Many of our staff attended planning forums or offered comments on the wiki. Members of the senior leadership team met with Campus leaders, members of the faculty, college and campus IT Directors, Outreach and Controllers office representatives and others. A survey of all students, faculty and staff was conducted to gather information on current uses of IT tools and services.
Certainly there will be changes to this written plan over the next five years, but it provides a good framework for more specific tasks. The Plan identifies seven change drivers, five critical challenges, and six strategies to address these. The budget requests, respecting the current economic climate, are reasonable and responsible, reflecting what we believe is needed to help Penn State maintain a position of excellence in higher education.
Thank you to all who contributed to this Plan. Now the fun of crafting specific tasks and implementation begins. I hope you will be as engaged in these efforts as you were with developing the Plan.
