Question: IT ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS

Considering the future of IT management, you are asked to design a Director/Senior Director-level (equivalent to a 0-4/5/6 in the military) position description for a person who would have multiple IT responsibilities and likely manage multiple IT units. This person would also be likely to set some policy, approve large budgets, and make many strategic and/or tactical IT decisions. Consider the professional and management knowledge requirements of this position, the considerable experience (types and depth) this person should have, their required education, and the likely career paths such managers may have traveled. Also consider specific leadership and management behaviors this person should possess. More than a short, terse position description is expected here. This paper must include an initial narrative discussion of the key elements/requirements of a senior IT position to preface your conventional position description (both required). Do not forget proper citations and references from the various sources used to compile your position description. Then, you must provide a relatively standard format job description as the second part of your paper. Do not just go to the Internet, or other sources, and simply lift a single position description. Instead, integrate the best of the several you may find.

SLP Assignment Expectations

These SLP papers require that you integrate, discuss, contiguously cite, and later fully reference at least three academically sound sources. Please use enough concurrent discussion so that the purpose of each citation is apparent to the reader. This paper is incomplete without at least three academically sound references. Relevant magazine articles such as CIO are OK. Also, you may use Wikipedia and military/corporate references, but they do not count as one of the required three.

You will be assessed on the appropriateness and completeness of the detail you provide regarding your topic, your use of citations and references as noted above, and your intellectual insight into topically important issues.

You are expected to use correct grammar, spelling, and English vocabulary. Check your paper for missing or inappropriately used words. If in doubt, check the dictionary and not ''spell check.'' Please consider that this paper, and all others, will be reviewed by the CIO and/or your commanding officer. It is strongly suggested that you ask a trusted colleague to review and edit each of your papers.

Post your paper once it is completed.

Finally, you are not to use any government/military classified or corporate-sensitive information in the development of any course papers or in any Discussion participation.
