Before strategic planning efforts can begin in earnest, CIOs must assess their institution’s readiness and capacity to complete the processes associated with IT strategic planning. An IT strategic planning initiative requires a significant time commitment from staff. It also commits the IT organization to pursuing a vision that reflects the specific moment in institutional and technological need, while offering flexibility as institutional aspirations and demands shift.
