Abstract
This presentation describes how Cincinnati Technical College organized their efforts to meet the following challenges:1. The use of PC's and automated systems was expanding rapidly with little or no thought given to integrating the systems.2. Users of MIS were demanding more access to the computer-based data and faster response on system problems and on development of new systems.3. The MIS department was being seen more and more as a barrier to progress rather than as a facilitator and servicer for progress.The GOALS of this presentation are to describe:1. The PLAN which was prepared to meet the challenges.2. The STRATEGIES which were designed to implement the PLAN.3. The EVANGELISM which was invoked to give leadership to the PLAN.4. The INNOVATION which was necessary to break away from old habits and ways of thinking.
