best people Dealing with stress Promoting good health Building a happy,
productive team with a commitment to excellence
Myself How do I keep myself
motivated? How are my relationships
within the university affected by uncertainty and change?
Time for a career change?
EXERCISE # 1
1. What unique advantages do we (universities) have for attracting and keeping the best employees in spite of limited resources?
2. How can I stay motivated, relevant, and connected when things are “down,” and how do I know when it is time for a change?
3. How can I promote employee wellness while asking employees to “do more with less” for extended periods of time?
4. Creating a culture of discipline involves setting priorities, saying no, and even starting a “Stop Doing” list. What does this mean for campus IT, and what are the challenges?

Building and Executing a Great Portfolio: The CIO Toolkit
David Swartz
OVERVIEW What type of CIO are you? What is in your portfolio? How do you determine what is in the portfolio? An example of portfolio management and shared
governance Executing the portfolio Post project follow up and marketing IT Break Out Session: Governance and Prioritization
What type of CIO are you? Are you a Plumber or a Strategist?
Plumber – An IT leader who focuses on the bottom line and delivery—the plumber keeps it all going - safely and quietly in the walls and under the walkways.
Strategist – An IT leader who actively co-shapes research, education and service with the leaders of the academy.
Which are you – plumber or strategist?
What does your institution want - are you in alignment or a duck out of water? Is there a different focus between a plumber and a strategist in terms of the portfolio?
Note: With thanks to Brad Wheeler and Brian Voss
see their point counterpoint session on Thursday at 2 pm.
What is in your portfolio? AU’s sample portfolio – much overlap with others
Cloud Computing (e.g., Google Apps, Admissions & Registration) Green IT & Virtualization (virtual servers, virtual labs and desktops) Open Source (e.g., LMS, Blogs, CMS, OS) Mobility Strategy and new mobile apps Security & Compliance (vulnerability monitoring, PCI audit, new NAC) Business Continuity (2nd data center virtualized and mirrored) BI: Dashboards and Analytics Migration to Microsoft Stack (AD, file and print services, SQL server database) New Sharepoint Portal and Team Site Collaboration HPC & Grids Life Cycle Infrastructure Replacement (campus network and wireless upgrade) Process Improvements & Efficiency (Virtual Student Services, Grants Mgt)) Web Presence Modernization (New templates, Web 2.0, blogs)
How does your university determine what is in the IT portfolio of projects?
1. IT alone determines projects in portfolio
2. Projects are a mix of those determined by core offices, decentralized IT and Enterprise IT: no university-wide review or prioritization
3. University-wide input and prioritization through a shared governance Enterprise IT Portfolio Project Team
Portfolio Management & Shared Governance
• Getting university stakeholders to agree upon what is most important• Helps to set enterprise IT priorities and sell the portfolio to leadership

PROJECT MANAGEMENT: Executing The Portfolio
Does project execution at your university employ a PM and follow a standard project management methodology?
1. Just very large projects like an ERP
2. All significant projects with a six figure threshold
3. All projects in the portfolio have a PM and follow the methodology
With PM there is often a reduced risk of failure and an improved probability of success, but at an additional cost.
Do you find it is worth the cost?
Now that you have determined what to do and have successfully executed, then what? Do you immediately move on to the next round of
projects? Do you conduct a review of the recently completed
projects and document the benefits as well as any issues?
Do you market and promote the successes and lay the foundation for the next portfolio?
Many CIOs do not document their successes and are hesitant to market IT.
Do you promote your success and if so how?
