Draft Information Technology Strategic Plan Available for Review

The University of Kentucky’s draft Information Technology Strategic Plan (ITSP) is now available for University-wide review here through Monday, August 8. We are excited to share this collaborative effort with you. UK students, faculty and staff are encouraged to review the draft plan and provide feedback and comments via Microsoft Forms.

The UK-ITSP supports UK’s Strategic Plan - The UK-PURPOSE (Plan for Unprecedented Research, Purposeful and Optimal Service and Education): THE STRATEGIC PLAN TO ADVANCE KENTUCKY. The UK-ITSP aims to provide the roadmap for technology, infrastructure, and IT services that will enable UK’s continued growth while aligning with The UK-PURPOSE strategic priorities of putting students first, taking care of our people, ensuring greater trust, transparency, and accountability, inspiring ingenuity, and bringing together many people, one community.



A series of focus groups, surveys, and one-on-one interviews were utilized in spring 2022 to obtain feedback from over 300 members of the UK community. These discussions and information gathering sessions focused on what students, faculty, and staff felt was working well regarding information technology across the enterprise, what expectations were for the future, and ways in which their experiences could be enhanced or improved. These comments and suggestions became the basis for the UK-ITSP goals and action Items. In early summer 2022, the IT Advisory Council (faculty and staff representatives from multiple areas of the University) and Information Technology Services employees reviewed and provided feedback on the draft.
