Please share this invitation with your colleagues as you see fit. Apologies for cross-posts.

University of Minnesota (UMN) IT leadership is initiating formal Communities of Practice (fCoPs) that mobilize around FY2013 IT priorities, and you are invited to participate in these communities to help shape the future of IT at the University of Minnesota.

Anyone at the University is welcome to join these communities to engage in planning that advances key strategic initiatives. These groups will be self-governing in that they will complete their own formal CoP charter and operation plan. One of the next communities is IT Governance.


The IT Governance fCoP is charged with making the IT governance credible by operationalizing it in a way that ensures confidence, success, transparency, fairness, and understanding. We plan to advise the Associate Chief Information Officers (ACIOs) in a process that will accomplish the following:

Christopher Stordalen ([log in to unmask]), Global Programs and Strategy (GPS) Alliance IT director, is this group’s interim lead.

Join the community!
