IMT Strategic Priorities
CIO John Reynolds has put forth the following strategic priorities for IMT. They are in no particular order, but everything IMT does in the forseeable future should be aligned with these priorities. This includes efforts around [Initiatives], projects, and architecture.
- Organizational Efficiency
- Graduate and Adult Learner Support System
- Virtual Accessibility
- Knowledge Management
- Transformational Self-Service
From a broad architectural perspective a theme arises, Agility. Organizational efficiency can only be achieved with an Agile Enterprise Architecture, where work seamlessly flows between organizational units; modular design masking complexity and enabling change. Whether a grad student, or a university partner, virtual accessibility and self-service are critical to enabling distributed access to a living organization that works as one. The self-service enterprise is one which is able to provide personalized service to the individual, hiding the complexities of organizational process to present a single friendly face to the customer. And yet with knowledge management, not loosing the value that each constituent: student, faculty, staff, alumni and parents personally bring to APU as transformational scholarship through Christ leaves its legacy.
