Event Overview:
Amid the rapidly changing needs within academic institutions, developing an IT strategy can appear complex and opaque. This webinar aims to demystify the process, offering insights into the formulation and execution of IT strategy. Information professionals at all levels are invited to join us for an in-depth conversation about strategic planning, collaborative initiatives, and the future of technology in higher education.

Learning Outcomes:
 - Explore how and why IT leaders align IT strategy with the broader goals and vision of their institution, as well as collaborate in organizational strategic planning
 - Gain insights on how to develop and implement strategic plans with IT departments
 - Develop an understanding of how IT leaders foster collaboration with faculty, departments, and other stakeholders in decentralized organizations
 - Gain actionable insights to bridge the gap between high-level strategic understanding and the day-to-day actions that contribute to the achievement of these strategic goals
