From Order-Taker to Trusted Partner: Rethinking How IT Plans


While most IT plans are intended to serve the institution, the institution rarely sees itself reflected in the final document. This lack of ownership means departments often view the plan as an IT-owned document rather than a shared commitment. In this session, you will learn how Sinclair flipped the script by building a planning process that puts the entire organization at the center. Walk away with a fresh model for turning IT from order-taker to trusted partner.


Facilitated By:

Scott McCollum CIO, Sinclair Community College

Bryan Hogan, CEO-Founder, Afidence
