- Charge to Peer Groups Update
This is a live document, which Jim will put into the wiki after the call=
. Current rev:
"Working Groups are one of the core activities of ITANA. As such, = they play a large roll in fulfilling our capabilities. A capabi= lity scan is a good way to start out your group. It helps you define = your scope and deliverables in a common way across groups. It a= lso ensures that your work is aligned with the goals a mission of ITANA. &n= bsp; This short article walks you through a quick capability scan. &nb= sp;This shouldn=E2=80=99t take more than one or two meetings of your team t= o complete. The outcome of the scan is a great way to communicate you= r team=E2=80=99s goals and deliverables back with ITANA.
Strategic Capability Scan
When you start up your group, have a look at ITANA=E2=80=99s Capability = Map (h= ttp://itana.org/capability-map/). Think about how this group help= s support the strategic capabilities. Below are some guiding question= s and examples.
Practice Development
What areas of the EA practice does this group cover?
Are lessons about how to advance the practice that should be highlighted= ?
Are their maturity models or maturity lessons to share?
Knowledge Transfer
What are the key lessons or takeaways that you want other architects get= from your work?
What is the best way to achieve those takeaways?
What channels are best suited to your message?
Community Building
Does this group lead to a natural peer-group within ITANA?
Does it have a role in bringing members together in new ways?
If so, how will you gather these peers together?
Outreach
Does this work have a broader audience than just itself and/or ITANA?
If so, how will you get the message out to broader audiences in higher e= ducation?
Can this group play a role in educating people about ITANA?
These Strategic Capabilities are critical to ITANA and to your group=E2=
=80=99s success. Focusing on how your group will deliver these outcom=
es is a good foundational activity for your team.
Once you have discussed the Strategic Capabilities, you should look thro=
ugh the rest of the capability map and think about the structure and functi=
ons of your group.
The Service Capabilities
The Service Capabilities are the things we do to deliver the strategic c= apabilities. Your group will need to deliver a collaboration service,= a content creation service, an instructional service and networking servic= e. You should ask questions about how you will build and deliver thes= e services for your group. Questions you might ask are: <= br class=3D"atl-forced-newline">
How will you structure your collaboration,
Who should be involved and how will you engage them,
How will you manage content,
What are the various tools, social media sites and spaces that you will = use for your content,
What kind of instructional materials will come from your effort,
What is the best format and channels for any instructional materials, an= d
How could this effort be used to connect peers with each other or form c=
ommunities of practice?
The Community-Facing Capabilities
You should also consider how the rest of ITANA and the rest of the highe=
r education community will engage with your work and your group. You =
should think about your meeting structures, the collaboration spaces you wi=
ll use, how you will leverage various social networking sites, if you need =
to set up instructional activities and finally, what are the final publishe=
d products from your work. The goal here is to get the word out and e=
ngage the community.
The Supporting Capabilities
Finally, look at the supporting capabilities and see what help you need = from the ITANA leadership in scheduling resources, content management, capt= ure of activities and outreach and relationship management.

- ITANA Face2Face 2012 (early November, the day before the Educause Annu= al Meeting in Denver)
http:/= /www.educause.edu/E2012
Help in organizing the day is welcome and encouraged. Potential topics i= nclude:
SOA
Practice of architecture= - including tools etc.
Skills for an architect<= /p>
Frameworks
It was proposed that there be one or more overarching theme(s) for the F=
2F, perhaps something that is being wrestled with on campuses.
- Check-In - What's happening on your campus
Michigan:
- Big Data
- Inter/Intra institutional Collaboration (Rolling out the Google = Suite to all of campus)
- On-line learning and new learning models
Ohio State:
- Integration Architecture SOA
- Information Management Delivery - Data Warehouse. OBIEE also joi= ning various marts and house (O-Data, Linked Data)
- HR/SIS split and the constituent hub et al
Mobile
Independent:
- How to find the quick wins for IT and EA in institutions where archite= cture's value isn't seen or leveraged
- Major transformational changes for higher education. We are unde=
rgoing similar disruption as the Music Industry and Movie Industry
UW-Madison:
- OpenSouce IdM launched - OSIdM4HE - I2, Kuali with JASIG/Sakai. = Create a complete open source IAM stack from the various parts that exist, = fill the gaps.
- Attempting to come up with reference architectures for IAM.
[OSIdM4HE Team Page|=
]
UBC:
- Collaboration
- Getting buy-in to EA
- Pressing reset on Identity
- Starting a program on integrated reporting
Georgetown:
- New COO and CIO
- Initiatives around reporting and BI
- Google Apps for the whole campus - collaboration impact. Past su=
ites where very siloed and not under a common strategy
UW-Madison (2):
- Transformative nature of things for higher education
- New leadership focused on how we serve students, the student career, n= ew ways to present course offerings, new certificates or badges
- Force a new collaboration with the academic area that hasn't been ther= e before
- Learning is something that you can't measure very well vs. the need to= demonstrate learning outcomes.
- Curation of research data: Electronic Lab Notebooks, curration of larg=
e data sets.
Notre Dame
- Looking at IAM - looking at OSIdM4HE
- Looking at how they deploy IT in remote sites (other countries) - how = do you manage the technology, privacy issues and data management
- Document Management needs. Imaging processes for paper
- Migration to SAKAI as hosted by RSmart
- Data driven decision making
- Virtualization - rearchitecting their VM management systems. We =
don't want a virtual server under a desk but a virtual server that is well =
managed
UW-Madison (3):
- SOA Test Lab initiative: we want to stand up two complete = SOA stacks (WS02 and Oracle) to learn more about their capabilities, what y= ou gain from a complete stack, what works as advertised and what is missing= .
- Enterprise Data Management is still big and a driver behind a va= riety of initiatives from Advising to Mobile to Business Intelligence.
- Marketing the EA Message. We are working on an infographic= that would show how EA aligns with various strategic initiatives on campus= .
