Welcome & Introduction (Kathy Starkoff)

Facilitated Breakout Sessions

University Statement of Direction Approval Process
The university academic and administrative areas demand fasteradoption of new initiatives and technologies. Faster adoption requires leveraging standard products to eliminate duplication and allow valuable resources to focus on value added services for university departments. Improving the speed and agility of the IT Community requires moving toward establishing standard building blocks. Key questions to solicitfeedback are: Why are university statements of directions important? What should be included in a university statement of direction? What is the enterprise statement of direction approval process? What are the key principles that guide technology decisions?

Facilitators: David Pike, enterprise architect, and Phyllis Culbertson, director, Portfolio & Program Management Office, Office of the CIO

Data Warehouse Strategy
This session will cover why there is a need for a university Data Warehouse Strategy, what is included in the strategy, and highlight particular areas of impact for the Advisory Community.

The community will be asked to respond to the overall strategy, including feedback on implementing the strategy and potential gaps/concerns. Are there other subject areas not identified in the strategy that should beincluded? What tools, for reporting and data analysis, are currently used and what needs are not being met by these tools? How would you envision a university data warehouse impacting you and your area? What components of the strategy are most important to you?

Facilitators: Geoff Wisniewski, associate director, Data Warehouse Applications and Glenn Donaldson, senior applications architect, Office of the CIO

Social Media Policy
The objective of a Social Media policy at Ohio State should be to clarify which employees may, and should, engage in an official capacity with our constituencies using socialmedia. Social Media is one of the fastest growing segments of communications technology and audience engagement. Individuals communicating on behalf of Ohio State need clarity about the goals, limitations, expectations, and liabilities of operating in this space. A university-wide policy will clarify Ohio State’s social media communications strategy, and get all units and colleges on thesame page - speaking as One Ohio State. What goals and best practices should be used in social media to maximize our efforts and protect the institution from unnecessary risk?

Participants in this session will hear early draft ideas included in a new policy, and provide thoughts and opinions on Ohio State's social media policy.

Facilitators: Ted Hattemer, senior director, University Marketing Communications, and Ryan Squire, senior social media manager, Communications and Marketing, OSU Medical Center

Carmen Affiliates 2.0

The current Carmen Affiliates program is our baseline and the discussion will take into account what we have learned from it and present questions on the direction it should take in the future.
