Crossing Boundaries - Making Connections: Removing Barriers to Integrated Planning

The SCUP 2012 North Central Regional Conference will focus on ways to improve the success of institutional integrated planning by removing barriers to collaboration. 

When we work smarter—rather than just harder, we solve our problems by crossing organizational and operational boundaries. Institutions that successfully make connections inside and outside of their organizational borders have greater potential to impact and improve their academic, physical, financial, and technological environments. 

We will discuss the following themes and how they relate to the future of collaboration and how collaboration will foster integrated planning and implementation. 

Partnerships: 
In a world where partnerships are a necessity for widespread adoption of methodologies, architectures, and technologies, what are the best ways to mobilize an institution and to cross the organizational boundaries to create enthusiastic, sustainable, and successful partnerships?

Mobility: 
Handheld mobile computing devices allow students to move freely within and between educational environments and participate actively with information resources. In a world of mobile people and mobile devices, how are we improving this experience for faculty and students?

Smart Institutions: 
The word “smart” commonly describes colleges and universities that have integrated some type of advanced technological services to deliver education, to improve the physical environment, or to make it easier for students, faculty, and staff to work and collaborate. What have we done, and what can we do to make our institutions smarter?
