Seminar 01A - Aligning IT Leadership with Institutional Missions: The Reality of Being a CIO<br><b>PLEASE NOTE: Separate registration and fee is required to attend this seminar.</b>
Tuesday
Oct 23rd, 2007
8:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Room 609
Session Type: Morning Seminar
Senior IT leaders in higher education function at the intersection of two worlds. CIOs serve as the interface between the processes and practices of the technological world and the ambiguities and diversity of the academic world. This seminar will review the various roles CIOs are expected to play, as well as how those roles may be changing. We will explore strategies IT leaders can use to align their organizations and themselves with the institutional missions.
While the session is especially designed for new and relatively new IT leaders, experienced CIOs will also find value in it, as it will help them reassess their roles and the their institutions' changing expectations of them. Topics will include what senior institutional leaders want and need from senior IT leaders, relationships with faculty and staff, the importance of customer service, organizational structure, leading as a change agent, and career issues.
