BoardUniversity Of California It Town Hall
The IT Town Hall focused on enhancing system-wide collaboration among IT leadership across the university. Key discussion topics included the development of a shared IT vision, the creation of an IT planning executive role to broker opportunities for excellence, and a shift towards both top-down and bottom-up approaches to shared services. The council addressed the challenges of operating under budget constraints and federal sequestration by aiming to stretch resources through joint decision-making and cross-institutional projects. Specific areas of focus included digital asset management, research cyberinfrastructure, healthcare IT consolidation, and the implementation of a 'playbook' for repeatable shared service processes.
