SUBJECT: KANSAS STRATEGIC INFORMATION MANAGEMENT PLAN PROJECT
DATE: August 1, 1996
FOR RELEASE TO: Any state agency; public; media
The Kansas Information Resources Council has initiated a project to produce a Strategic Information Management Plan for the state government. The Plan will be approved by the Council, and will be completed by January 1, 1997.
The Kansas Legislature assigned responsibility to the Council to approve a Strategic Information Management Plan for the state government. Council membership consists of the heads of the major agencies in the Executive branch of government, House and Senate representatives from the Legislative branch, a representative from the Judicial branch, the Executive Director of the Board of Regents, and private industry executives. The Council provides the central point of leadership, coordination, and general management for information technology in state government.
The Chief Information Architect, a member of the Council, is responsible for the project to produce the Plan. The Ken Orr Institute, a consulting organization based in Topeka, has been selected to conduct the project.
Objectives for the Strategic Information Management Plan include:
Ž Clearly define the goals and objectives for information, and information technology (IT), in the three branches of government.
Ž State the principles applicable to IT management, service delivery, and policy issues.
Ž Convey the roles and responsibilities of all applicable parties regarding IT management and service delivery.
Ž Contribute to improved use and alignment of technology in support of agency program objectives and performance measures.
Ž Support multi-agency coordinated public services.
Ž Enable coordinated support of technology-related public issues.
Ž Serve to raise the quality of technology services available to agencies.
In development of the Plan, the consultant will engage members of the Kansas Information Resources Council, individual agencies, and several groups representing agencies throughout the state. Consensus will be sought among the many groups and agencies involved in Plan development. The final Plan will be approved by the Council.
Further information about the Strategic Information Management Plan and the project may be obtained from the Office of the Chief Information Architect.
