On July 3, 2018, the Information Technology Services (ITS) division, under the leadership of Chief Information Officer (CIO) Bo Wandschneider, launched the ITS strategic planning process.
The development of the University of Toronto’s ITS strategic plan will focus and guide our efforts to support the university’s academic mission through information technology services. It will inform the vision, goals and objectives, both within ITS and across the university for the next five years. Additionally, the strategic plan (directed by guiding principles) will provide a clear picture of and lead our IT investments in a rapidly evolving environment. In effect, this plan will shape IT@UofT.
The plan is being created with the input of all staff within ITS and key stakeholders from the broader University of Toronto community. The process will be supported by an external facilitator.
Input of staff, partners and stakeholders is critical to the development of the plan. Meetings and focus groups have taken place over the past two terms to gather their valuable feedback. More details on this and additional activities to follow.
Since work on developing the vision began on July 9th, a total of six productive workshops have taken place. To date, approximately 670 IT staff, faculty students and administrators have participated in our community consultation as part of the ITS strategic plan process and have actively participated in creating the vision.
