Workforce Development
Technical awarenessTechnical CompetenciesSecurity AwarenessWeb 2.0 Savvy
Science is bigger today
Multiple disciplines Many funding agencies Many institutions Many investigators Expensive, remote
instruments Mass data generation Outside the realm of human
cognition Computation and
visualization aid understanding
Discover, Learn, and Teach
Collaborate & Discover Web / video conference Fixed line and mobile phones Instant text and mobile messaging Application sharing and joint editing Extemporaneous Real Time & Immediate: across time & distance
Learn Expand the classroom Active participation Extend the hours of learning
Disseminate Time Shift
Lecture capture Digital content on-demand Digital distribution
Effective Networking Computing
Aligns investments to missionReduces systemic complexityDeploys standards and guidelinesRetains staff talent Maintains skillsAssures Long term SustainabilityOperates efficiently Focuses on flexibility, not rigidity
Effective IT Enables
business users by giving them easy ways to customize their environment and modify processes as their needs and roles evolve
understanding that changes occurs at the edge of the organization – not at the bureaucratic center
Leadership
Vision and Technology Leadership Skills and market currency Articulate , frequent, concise
communications
Daily Operations Management control and daily execution Regulatory and policy compliance Business interaction Mission engagement
IT Leadership
focuses the essential task of governing platform policies, security, access control, and overall strategy, without taxing their resources and turning IT into a bottleneck of business change.
drives standardization and leverages economies of scale, rather than simply automating structured processes.
