June 21 , 2004 Question: When will the new IT senior management be announced?
Response: At present we are still weeks out from having the new IT senior management identified as the details of a selection process are still being worked out. As well, we are still determining the principles around who exactly will be defined as an IT resource the who’s in, who’s out question. As such, it is still too early to know when the reporting relationships and roles of IT staff across campus will change and how that will be accomplished. Nonetheless, we are considering how to manage the transition of people from across the campus whose scope of work and reporting relationships will change, including those in the existing ITS organization. We will need to develop a fair and rational process that will align individual skills and interests with new and changed positions. This entire process will be part of Phase III – Implementation that begins July 1.
