Developing a Talent Toolkit to Meet the Higher Ed Needs of the Future

"IT staffing models" is a top 10 IT issue. Stanford IT Services, like many central IT organizations, staffs mostly with internal full-time IT employees. This is challenging in a world where the pace of technology change is constantly increasing and/or organizational capacity and resilience must adapt to meet the evolving expectations of faculty and students, while Silicon Valley aims to lure our best employees away. We believe talent is how we maximize the strategic contribution of IT. Our Talent Development Toolkit works to increase competence, commitment, and connection, leading to greater productivity and catalyzing change that supports Stanford's mission.

OUTCOMES: Obtain lessons learned from the Stanford ITS experience, including tips and strategies * Develop adaptable tools and approaches from our Talent Development Toolkit * Investigate the utility of an interactive coaching practice
