Question:
The Case for this Module starts us off by looking at two examples of actual information technology strategic plans. Both involve universities (oddly enough, both called "UCB"), but as you''ll see, the issues are those faced by any organization in any country. You don''t need to know a lot about either universities or IT to understand what is going on in these plans, but the more you read about the planning process, the better you''ll understand why certain recommendations are made as they are.
Here are the two examples:
UC Berkeley. (2010). Campuswide Information Technology Strategic Plan. Campuswide Technology Service Providers.
The Regents of the University of California.

UC Boulder. (2010). The University of Colorado at Boulder IT Strategic Planning (ITSP).

The Baldridge national quality are well-known or setting standards for many dimensions of organizational practice, including strategic planning. Check out more from:

Case Assignment
When you''ve read through the plans and the criteria and perused relevant items from the Background Readings and other sources that you may have located, please compose a short (4-5 page) paper on the topic:
How do UC Berkeley and UC Boulder strategic IT plans compare against the Baldridge criteria and each other for assessing strategic planning?
Use information from the modular background readings as well as any good quality resource you can find. Please cite all sources and provide a reference list at the end of your paper.
please include headers and solid conclusion
