I am happy to welcome you to the ITACS program and to MIS 5202 ! I hope you are as excited to get started as I am. I will begin on Wednesday night, August 30th when we will go through the structure of the course, what I am expecting from you, and talk about the Stars Ambulance case.
In the following weeks, we will study one topic per week. I will publish Reading and Case Questions each week to kick the topic off and then a wrap up note at the end of the week. You must answer all the reading questions each week. The goal is to have a thorough discussion of each topic at the beginning of each class. Case questions are there to guide your analysis of each case. For our four Harvard cases, you do not need to answer the questions online as we will discuss them in class. For the other cases and activities, you will need to answer and comment online.
We will in-person class every week. In the event we don’t have in-person class, I will use WebEx to host the class for the specified week. Please use a computer to join in as Webex is not friendly to IOS devices.
For this week , all you need to do is read the Stars Ambulance case and think about these three case questions
- Identify three or four of the most critical challenges facing the new CIO?
- What is the overall issue facing the new CIO?
- How would you proceed as the new CIO?
I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday night.
Rich
