IT Governance and Management Structure A. B. C. D. E. F. Re-Structuring IT Governance and Management: Why Now? Opportunities; Challenges Transition Structure “Steady-State” Structure Guiding Principles Next Steps: Next 30-90 Days

Re-Structuring IT Governance and Management: Why Now? 1. Retirement of the CIO 2. Completion of IT Spending Exercise (FY 2015) 3. Mike Lehman’s willingness to continue to serve after stepping down from Interim VCFA position and after completing IT Spend Exercise. 4. New VCFA arriving to UW-Madison. These changes present an opportunity to re-evaluate the campus IT position, structure, governance, decision making, IT priorities, and funding. Replacement CIO will be recruited after completing the new governance structure. We will be able to recruit high-caliber CIO; s/he will be in a better position to be successful.

Opportunities; Challenges Create a comprehensive IT strategic plan: Focus on service, value. Prioritize IT investments: o Better coordination of investments. o Ensure that investments in IT are both effective and efficient, and meet campus needs in a cost-effective manner. Establish a new funding/budget/internal-billing model. Increase service levels and potentially reduce costs by working more closely together. Better security.

1. Investment in creating the governance structure is long term. 2. Basic governance structure will remain after a permanent CIO is hired: Steady-State Structure (next chart).
