24 Recommendations under: General/Education/Research/Extension/Business

Delivered to the Assoc. Deans. 1. Faculty2. CALS Organization3. CALS Business Functions & Infrastructures4. Revenue Generation5. Cost Reduction

Problem 1: Critical and Urgent,

Collapsing IT hardware

Options: 1. Reactionary: replace IT hardware.2. Strategic: Move into CI paradigm--transformational not transactional.

Problem 2: Chronic and important, no one seems to know what we really do and we don’t have good ways to tell them and we don’t know what people want.

Solution: professionalize our branding, marketing and communication.And MEASURE the ROI.

CCT’s Goals

• Targeted, effective and efficient marketing, branding and communications with clear ROI metrics and goals.

• Stable and growing CALS21 Cyber-Infrastructure (hardware, software, people) so that CCT is integral to CALS T,R,S competitiveness.

Publications to Marketing; IT to Cyberinfrastructure; Managing Learning Facilities to Facilitating E-Learning Spaces; Video “Productions” to message and story clips targeting specific audiences that are easy to use ubiquitously.From Accuracy and Accessibility (delivering what is expected and as needed, i.e. email, etc.) to customization and responsiveness through Partnership and acting as enablers and facilitators to give Advice to help guide faculty and staff to where can get the services they need or to establish new directions.

External Relations • Marketing Plan– “everything is connected to everything else”• Seven teams working on finding a coherent brand that fits all of

CALS; logo collection; bringing consistency in print and online; public relations, emergency response and marketing strategies; and increasing news coverage.

• CALS identity guide will contain branding guidelines; logo, font, and color standards.

• Toolkit to contain images, logos, templates, branding messages.• Promotional materials will be made available that reinforce our

brand.• Training sessions -- in person and on-line -- will focus on topics

To advise the CCT and EC on how CALS will become the most "cyber-savvy" college on campus and of its type in the world.

Includes T/R/S and being best at enabling all members of CALS (employees, students, stakeholders and "clients") to be part of, and benefit from, the growth in computer and computational sciences, regardless of their background or expertise, and doing so in the most cost effective way possible.

Identify what we should do in IT and CI in the college and what should be done at the UA level by the CIO.

Reinvest strategically in those who are here now.

Just over $1M/year from FY14 (but ½ is already spent for FY14).

What about the rest of the university?

• Biological and biomedical systems, with special emphases in translational and clinical health sciences, bioinformatics, and biotechnologies;

• Environment and sustainability, with special emphases in water, climate, energy, arid lands, policy, and sustainable design;

• Space sciences and related technologies, with special emphases on leveraging our strengths in the physical sciences to expand cross-college collaborations;

• Technology and society, with special emphases on information and data science (“big data”), information management, transport, and security, as well as digital cultures and access, human interfaces and autonomous/robotic systems;

• Global impact, with special emphases on international, transnational and area studies as well as world literatures, languages, histories and arts;

• Regional roots, with special emphases on Southwestern cultures and borderlands, as well as professional education, workforce development and community engagement.
