Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) is one of a number of departments that
deliver services for the City of Cincinnati, Ohio. GCWW has seven Divisions, including
Business Services, Commercial Services, Distribution, Engineering, Fleet, Supply, and
Water Quality and Treatment. GCWW is an enterprise fund in the City of Cincinnati.
Upon completing their previous IT plan, GCWW saw the need to develop a new direction
for the next several years based on their business requirements and strategic business
direction. The resulting Information Technology Strategic Plan (ITSP) provides the
recommended direction for key applications, as well as organizational recommendations,
and a variety of tactical recommendations. The recommendations are based on
GCWW's business and organizational priorities. The roadmap includes recommended
investment levels, timelines, key milestones, goals, and recommendations impacts.
IT staff, business users and the GCWW leadership team were actively involved in the
project; they have very strong ownership in the plan and are actively in the process of
carrying out the recommendations. Key project activities included IT "Roundtable"
meetings, focus groups, data quality analysis, and assessments of IT business practices
and the IT governance structure.
The plan was completed in 2005; GCWW is actively carrying out the plan.
This presentation will address:
why GCWW undertook this IT strategic planning project;
project goals;
how they approached the project;
key recommendations;
key issues that were addressed during the project; and,
results and benefits to date. Includes abstract only.
