Strategic IT Planning - S42IL 110714
The document discusses Strategic Forty2's IT strategic planning process called the Strategic Forty2. The process uses industry-leading tools to understand business objectives, assess current IT assets, and plan projects to strengthen technologies and fill gaps. It breaks the process into 5 key aspects: business-IT alignment, application direction, technical infrastructure development, IT organization direction, and an IT strategic investment and value roadmap. Each aspect uses supporting tools to develop the IT strategy and link projects to business value. The process results in a plan to design systems that address strategic imperatives and ensure IT investment alignment with long-term business needs.
IT Alignment (org chart style)
The document discusses technology alignment across different departments at non-profit organizations. It examines what alignment looks like in early and late stages for executive leadership, finance, fundraising, operations, programs, and communications. In early stages, departments work more independently and technology is an afterthought. In later stages, there is cross-functional collaboration, technology is considered earlier in planning, and IT participates to help meet organizational goals.

Advanced Project Data Analytics for Improved Project Delivery
Data Analytics is already beginning to impact how projects are delivered. We can now automate minute taking and capturing actions, we can use Flow to progress chase, Power BI reduces the burden of reporting.
But we are just scratching the surface. It won’t be long before we can leverage the rich dataset of experience to predict what risks are likely to occur, understand which WBS elements will be susceptible to variance, deduce what the optimum resource profile looks like, define a schedule by leveraging data from those projects that have gone before.
The role of a project professional is about to change dramatically. In this webinar we will explore the challenges and opportunities, and how we should respond. It’s a call-to-action for the community to mobilise, help to reshape project delivery and understand the implications for you and your organisation.
Presenter Martin Paver is a Chartered Project Professional, APM Fellow and Chartered Engineer.

Ct user group governance
This presentation discusses how to successfully implement SharePoint governance and change management. It recommends starting with a gap analysis and roadmap. Key steps to implementing governance include developing taxonomy, a governance plan with clear goals and metrics, training, service definitions, policies and procedures. Signs of failure include lack of a clear vision, undefined roles and responsibilities, and lack of an adoption strategy. What it takes for success is having a governance committee, documentation of governance plans and policies, and making the system easy to use.
Enterprise Membership
The document outlines the annual and quarterly planning processes for ChrisHeaven.com's ENTERPRISE membership.

FUNdamentals of Project Management
The document discusses the fundamentals of project management. It outlines the 5 phases of project management - initiation, planning, execution, controlling, and closure. During the initiation phase, project objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. The planning phase involves breaking down objectives into tasks. Execution requires actively working tasks. Controlling monitors progress against the plan. Finally, closure wraps up and archives the project. Effective project management balances the triple constraint of scope, time and cost.
IT Trends: Website Accessibility
The document discusses a presentation about website accessibility, noting that over 13% of the population in Pennsylvania has some form of disability, and that website accessibility is important to ensure people with disabilities such as physical, mental, or sensory impairments can access websites. It covers what web accessibility means, how people with disabilities use the web, achieving accessibility standards like WCAG 2.0, and tools for testing website accessibility.
Choosing Social Media Tools
This document discusses choosing social media tools and provides a framework for doing so strategically. It outlines goals of understanding popular social media types, thinking strategically about using them for an organization's cause, and practicing tool selection. Both opportunities and challenges of social media are presented. Common tool categories are defined and questions to consider before choosing tools are provided. A social media game is then described to have groups practice tool selection to solve an organizational problem within set constraints.
Intro to Website Accessibility for Libraries
This document provides an overview and introduction to website accessibility for libraries. It discusses what website accessibility is, accessibility guidelines like the WCAG, and the benefits of accessible websites such as being usable by people with disabilities and improving search engine optimization. It also provides tips for making websites more accessible, like using proper headings, alt text for images, readable text formatting. Finally, it lists questions to ask web developers about accessibility and additional resources for information and testing tools.
Using Technology for Results
This document summarizes a presentation about using technology for results in non-profit organizations. It discusses two case studies: one where an organization used data and technology to increase internal capacity by addressing idle therapist time, and another where a community group used data collection and mapping technology to engage residents and understand community challenges. The presentation also covers common technology challenges for non-profits like failing to include technology in planning, fear of change, lack of knowledge, budgeting issues, and piecemeal implementation.
