IDEAL IT Foundations manages and supports overall communication, strategic planning, advocacy, and advisory processes for the IDEAL IT program. It also provides scaffolding and structural support for the sub-programs and pillars within IDEAL IT.
Goals and Deliverables
IDEAL IT Foundations seeks to:
- Maintain alignment with the Stanford IDEAL Strategic Plan.
- Provide strategic communication to key stakeholders, IDEAL IT Leads, and the IT community at large.
- Provide strategic planning across all the IDEAL IT programs and pillars.
- Be the incubator for future programs and pillars.
- Continue to provide learning curricula like #IAmRemarkable and Allyship at Work to the IT community and beyond.
- Continue to build out our talent development programs through the IT CareerLab.
- Continue to reduce administrative overhead in the programs and pillars through centralization and standardization.
Key deliverables include:
- Develop and communicate three-year strategic roadmap for IDEAL IT program.
- Continue to launch scalable IDEAL IT learning curricula.
- Maintain metrics across all IDEAL IT programs and pillars.
- Formalize the IDEAL IT Opportunities track, which is intended to be an ‘innovation lab’ beyond the existing IDEAL IT programs and pillars. It will be a space for to-be-determined pilots and fast prototypes, and a connection-point to other Stanford-wide diversity, inclusion, and belonging-related programs and pilots.
Educational Opportunities
We offer two learning series for those in the IT Community and beyond to gain knowledge and tools for self-improvement and for being allies to others
Allyship at Work
Empowering you to take meaningful action as an ally and build an inclusive workplace culture through this four-workshop series.
#IAmRemarkable
Empowering you to celebrate your achievements in the workplace and beyond through a 90-minute workshop.
Metrics and Data Analysis
We are in the process of creating a Data Analysis Committee that is conceived as a working and collaborative team that seeks to advance data-related efforts across IDEAL IT for the Stanford IT community, including next steps for work begun in Stanford WIT+ and Stanford POC-IT. We will perform objective analysis of University data to establish baseline metrics that inform the Stanford IT community and share actionable insights with decision-makers as they attract, develop, reward, and retain a diverse and talented workforce and leadership pipeline.
