A Leadership Framework

Published: 01 October 2017 Publication History

Abstract

Over the last year, Lewis & Clark's Information Technology has implemented a new leadership framework based on a waterfall of vision, mission, objectives and measureable milestones. The goals, are one of three pillars that constitute the work done by our division-Projects, Objectives and "Keeping the Lights On." By having clear objectives developed by each team, expectations are clearly expressed and negotiated at the beginning of each quarter and graded at the end of each quarter.
Having this framework in place better aligns the mission and objectives of our team with those of the institution. It has also provided each group with focus, and allows the IT leadership team a better understanding of what each group is working on and illustrates where collaborations could be beneficial. When desired, we are now able to produce a list of what IT added as value through measurable, quarterly objectives from each division and how they all are tied to an institutional strategy.
This paper will discuss how our IT Framework provides structure for the work we do in our department and detail the benefits and challenges in adhering to such a framework.
