DoIT Strategic Initiatives - The Big Ten
The following ten DoIT initiatives or sub-initiatives were selected from among the thirty-eight Campus IT Plan charters by the DoIT Leadership Team and the DoIT Management
Team based on several criteria: alignment with the Campus Strategic Framework, the Campus IT Strategic Plan and the Madison Undergraduate Initiative; impact on the campus
community (users and processes); added efficiency or functionality to the campus; and environmental energy (green) impact. These initiatives link back to the original charters
