| High Level Goals and Objectives | Undertake a top-down evaluation, starting from the University's Corporate Plan, to define the consequent ICT requirements which need to be fed into the Strategic Plan |
| Expected Results and Benefits | Most of the ICT Strategy exercise is a bottom-up process to seek the collective wisdom on how to develop an ICT strategy which will lead to a coherent ICT environment for the collegiate University. WT C takes a different, and complementary, approach and starts with a remit to understand and extract the key strategic directions of the University and ensure that there is suitable underpinning ICT infrastructure. The benefit is a direct connection of the ICT Strategy exercise with the Corporate Plan and a way of ensuring that the high level needs of the University are met. |
| Timing | Immediate start. Work to be completed and documented by Christmas 2005, presentation to ICT-SG Meeting 4. |
| Prime Responsibility | Determination of Collegiate University strategic objectives and drivers for change and underpinning ICT requirements. |
| Major Dependencies | There are connections between WT C and WTs B (in terms of communication) and K (in terms of user cases). WTJ needs output from this WT after confirmation by ICT-SG Meeting 4. |
| Risks and Potential Obstacles | Availability of group members, ability to obtain information from major stakeholders during the pressure of a new academic year. |
