I am a professional specializing in strategic information systems planning, based in Southern California. A strong advocate of strategic planning as a catalyst for organizational evolution, I assist clients in the development of a living document, not a report that gathers dust on a shelf. Because each client is unique, I provide customized services rather than packaged solutions. Most senior managers understand the importance of planning but have trouble fitting it into their schedules.
Institutional planning can be a highly charged process.
I understand the political concerns that may arise and can act as a nonpartisan facilitator. Information systems planning must be integrated with an overall institutional strategy. I aid institutions in formulating a strategic vision for the adoption and development of information technology, giving special consideration to managing technology as a strategic resource and maximizing return on investments in technology. The planning process typically involves senior management and results in a document suitable for presentation to officers, directors, or trustees. Developing and documenting a vision of the desired information technology environment.
