IT Leaders Program
IT Leaders Program
The Big Ten Academic Alliance Chief Information Officers know that the excellence of their respective IT organizations and higher education in general depends upon the excellence of their IT leaders. Driven by this commitment to preparing their staff to meet the ever-evolving IT needs of their universities, in 2005 the CIOs partnered with to develop the Big Ten Academic Alliance MOR IT Leaders Program. Since that time, more than 700 IT staff from member universities are graduates of this intensive, cohort-based program.
The ITLP is structured in consultation with the Big Ten Academic Alliance CIOs to address the top 10 critical leadership competencies as outlined by the Big Ten Academic Alliance CIOs including:
Communication
Working Across the Organization

Systemic Thinking

Accountability

Shared Leadership
The objectives of this year-long program are:
To enhance the professional and personal development of senior staff who will play increasingly important management and leadership roles.
To explore opportunities for each individual to make sustainable improvements in their effectiveness.
To gain a heightened perspective on strategic issues facing higher education institutions post pandemic.
To evolve each individual’s capabilities to build a diverse workforce and create an inclusive work environment.
To strengthen relationships and foster collaboration within and across the participating universities.
The program provides a variety of learning opportunities encompassed in four tracks: an individual development track, an applied learning track, a leadership community track and a workshop track. .
ITLP participants are selected by participating Big Ten Academic Alliance CIOs. There is no application process. Interested IT staff should inquire to their CIO's office through their respective supervisor.
