Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: N/A
Background:
The most recent IT Strategic Plan was approved by the Board December 14, 2004. Per Board Policies A-10 and A-13, this document is to be updated at least bi-annually.
Due to a change in Information Technologies Director, the proposed IT Strategic Plan has been approached in a totally different manner.
Taking the time to periodically view an organization objectively and to develop a plan for the future is critical to the success of any organization. This is the purpose of the El Dorado County Information Technologies Strategic Plan.
The Plan provides management with a five-year road map to guide decision-making and to evaluate the validity of the strategic initiative by providing clear and consistent direction, goals, objectives and strategies. It is short and concise and contains action items that will provide the BOS and CAO the ability to evaluate the success of the Department.
This Plan was developed specifically for IT through a strategic planning process. To ensure that the process provided the most appropriate direction for the Department, the strategic directives fully incorporate the IT Mission and the current status and environment of the Department.
The ITSC, CAO and employees of IT have approved this Plan.
Reason for Recommendation:
Per Board Policies A-10, Information Technologies Steering Committee and Acquisition Procedures requirement to update the IT Strategic Plan bi-annually, and to provide County management and the BOS with a road map to guide decision-making and evaluate the validity of the strategic initiative by providing clear and consistent direction, goals, objectives and Strategies.
