Human Elements

You will be given a Key Assignment to develop a Human Elements in IT Strategy document for an organization with an established IT department that could benefit from the strategy. The goal of this assignment is to focus on outlining a strategy that an organization could adopt to improve productivity in the IT department and benefit the company.

Organization Selection

The first step will be to select an organization as the target for your Human Elements in IT Strategy document. This organization will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:

• Nontrivial: The organization should be large enough with an IT department that is evolved enough to allow the reasonable exercise of the human elements in IT strategy research and documentation process.
• Domain knowledge: You should be familiar with the organization so that you can focus on the project tasks without needing a significant amount of time for domain education.
• Accessibility: You should have good access to the people and other information related to the project. This will be an important part of the process.

Select an organization that meets these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.

Your proposal should be at least 2 paragraphs, one describing the company, name, location and business.  The second paragraph should provide some information on the type of business that is performed by the IT department and number of employees.  Please submit in email by this Friday, January 5.
