IT Strategic Plan for KALCH Distribution Company
Leona, the new CIO at KDC, has asked you to write an IT Strategic Plan that she can use to guide the direction for her organization. The ITSP will be developed in two parts. This assignment covers Part 1; Part 2 will be covered in the next class assignment. Together, they will form an ITSP that has been tailored to the course material covered in this class. You may work for an organization that has an ITSP, and it would be a good idea for you to look at it, but it will likely be structured a little differently from this one. Each organization develops an ITSP that will work for them.
Assignment
You will develop Part 1 of the ITSP for KALCH Distribution Company, using the outline below. Each of the topics to be included in your outline is covered in the course content readings assigned thus far. In addition to the course materials links below, at least one external resource, (resource other than those provided in the class) must be used. Two or more cited references will earn top credit. Use a separate References page to list just the references you have cited. Prepare a minimum 4- 5 page or 1000-1100 words, double-spaced paper. Remember to use the APA formatting rules and correctly cite and reference your sources with APA format. Use the Grading Rubric to be sure you have covered everything.
Please use this outline to build your IT Strategic Plan. Use the numbering and headings shown below.
Part One
1. Business Statement - Summarize in one paragraph the business of KDC. Include the location of the company/terminals, fleet information, and current/future financial climate/goals. Refer to Case Study. 

2. Business Strategic Objectives - From the information in the Case Study, list the three strategic objectives. Next add a new strategic objective of your own - one that you consider important to the current and future health of KDC's business. It should be a statement of how the management team would improve the business of KDC. 

3. IT Vision and Mission Statement - Write two short paragraphs with separate vision and mission statements for the Information Technology Department at KDC. Use what you learn from the case study to create your own idea for the vision statement; and use the case study situation at KDC to write the mission statement for the IT department. Refer to the course materials on mission and vision, particularly the reading on "Creating a Future Vision for the Chief Information 

Officer". If you need help on a mission statement, do a little research on the web; you will find many examples of IT mission statements.
4. Governance - Using the course content materials and the case study, describe in two or three paragraphs how the IT governance process should work for KDC. Leona wants to engage the other senior leaders, so include: who the participants are, what their roles are (why they are members of the governance body), what governance methodology should be established, what responsibilities the governance body would have, and how they would prioritize IT projects. Refer to the course materials on governance and you may supplement those documents with external research. 

5. Inventory of Current IT Systems - Using the information in the Case Study, you will use the table provided to describe the current systems in use and the IT resources allocated to their support. Copy and complete the table below, creating additional rows as needed to cover all current systems at KDC, then write a brief introductory paragraph to the table. The paragraph should come first in your ITSP, to explain what the table is providing. 

Â
The "right" and "wrong" answers have to do with whether or not you correctly incorporated the course concepts from the course content materials and addressed all parts of the assignment. The content of the mission and vision statements you create is not as important as that it makes sense considering the course content and the Case Study. Use the Rubric below to be sure you have covered all aspects of the assignment.
