We all have, so let’s circle back to the ITLC Conversations on Leadership spring 2024 series and see what we have learned! Join us to go over IT-related habits, documentation, feedback, work routines, decision-making sessions, and apply the techniques in our day to day. This IT Leadership Community sponsored series of informal discussions about leadership is open to anyone in the IU IT community. Whether you are a current, emerging, or future leader, these discussions are for you. Meeting Zoom link, recommended pre-work, and discussion questions are available at the event link.

Did you know…
Once a Software and Services Selection Process (SSSP) request for new software or new IT service purchase is approved, additional reviews by other departments may still be required prior to Purchasing approval. Allow sufficient time for potential reviews, some of which necessitate information submitted directly from the vendor.
