NC State adopted its first strategic IT plan — Partners in Innovation: A Strategic Plan for IT at NC State, 2014-2020 — which provided the framework for the campus IT community to best support the university’s mission. This effort resulted in eight IT Guiding Principles and six IT Strategic Goals to help guide every IT decision-maker on campus. This completed Dr. Hoit’s three-phase strategic planning process to improve the use of information technology as a driver for change.
