Presenting Your Information Technology Project: Best Practices for Buy In

Jimmy Rogers, Director of Information Technology, Colorado Department of Higher Education

New technology can be a game-changer when it comes to how you run your department and projects. Unfortunately, a solid plan can get significant push-back from key decision makers. The issue with waiting until the new becomes mainstream is that you lose the competitive advantage that the technology brings.   

Components of presenting your technology project should include the opportunity, associated needs or problems, solution, benefits, background, and cost analysis. It should cover other possible options-such as doing nothing-as well as specific exclusions in the proposal, constraints, and other issues.  

Learn how the correct strategic applications of a strategic plan can both help garner buy-in and reduce time.

The public sector is constantly evolving. Nearly every job will change, many quite profoundly, and many of your employees will need to be trained. Upskilling also comes at a time when emerging skill sets are scarce, and the talent market is competitive. To address this crisis, employers will need to both train employees in new areas and provide enabling technologies to boost their current productivity.
