Penn IT Strategic Plan Project Identifies Themes
| |
| Penn is developing an updated University Information Technology Strategic Plan, prioritizing IT activities for the next three to five years.
Led by Information Systems & Computing and launched in February, the project spans four phases: discovery, theme definition, analysis and recommendations, and report.
The discovery and theme definition phases have recently been completed. The project team conducted 68 interviews with key stakeholders and groups from across the University, and received 300 responses to a campus-wide online survey.
From this wealth of informed input, four major themes emerged: student experience, academic technology, data & artificial intelligence, and research computing—each encompassing several sub-themes. Three additional cross-sectional themes—operational efficiency and standardization, IT staffing and labor reskilling, and information security and privacy—will inform analysis of the others. Teams of academic and administrative leaders are now being assembled to investigate opportunities and implications for Penn in each of these major themes.
This work will result in recommendations to be incorporated into Penn’s IT Strategy, identifying prioritized activities that will best position the University over the next several years.
More information about this project and the themes derived from the discovery phase is available at https://www.isc.upenn.edu/penn-it-strategic-plan.
