Instructions
For this task, assume you are the CIO of an organization that needs to implement your comprehensive IT Policy Portfolio. You are adding this need to your IT strategic plan, to be fully implemented in 1 year. Again, it may be helpful to use a real organization with which you are familiar or use the NCU Consulting case study.
Your goal:
Implement a comprehensive IT Policy Portfolio that will be used organization-wide. Create the objectives, strategies, tactics that would be involved in achieving your goal. This is a simple example of a table you might use to display your objectives, strategies, and tactics:

Write a report that includes the following:
Formulate at least two objectives that would be needed to achieve your goal.
Evaluate your organization’s current state and compare it to the policies you created, and then determine the objectives that must be achieved to implement the policies.
Develop at least two strategies associated with each objective.
Create at least two tactics needed to realize each of the strategies.
Explain and justify your objectives, strategies, and tactics. Include a table showing an overview of these in an appendix.
Remember, you are formulating a strategic plan and objectives. You are not writing an essay. This information should be written from a real-world professional perspective and not an academic perspective. You should use theories and academic concepts to inform your writing, but your focus should be on your solution and on your application of academic concepts in the real world.
