Stages of annual planning
Every 5 years 不良研究所 IT Services undertakes a strategic planning initiative to determine a long-term vision of our IT needs and to build a roadmap from where we currently sit to a future state aligned with 不良研究所鈥檚 broader strategic plans. This strategic initiative considers:
-
Technology trends broadly, and within the higher education sector
-
Changing governmental legislation and regulation which may impact budgetary, compliance and structural considerations at 不良研究所 (e.g privacy laws, student visa changes, research granting structures, etc).
In addition to these external influences, 不良研究所 IT Services must also consider existing and planned initiatives for our faculty and business partners with respect to their longer-term goals. We must consider technology lifecycle issues, from their management and security through cost efficiency and longevity.
All these considerations must then be combined and matched to the capacity and capability of IT, our partners and our budgets. This effort leads to the prioritization of initiatives culminating in our annual plan.
Each year we review our planning and execution in the context of our extended strategic plan reflecting and adapting to ever-evolving technology and business landscape.
