Podcasts and Organizational Structure

This podcast features a 13 minute interview with Jack McCredie, Associate Vice Chancellor, Emeritus, CIO, Emeritus, and Senior Research Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley. He discusses collaboration between departments, campuses, and institutions and the issues and challenges facing system unification.

An important issue in planning, managing, and funding the broad range of information services on campuses is how to get departmental, campus, system-wide, and external organizations to work well together. Often they do not, and sometimes they actively compete.

The EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR), the Common Solutions Group, CNI, the UC Berkeley campus, and many other organizations have been working on developing collaborative models that provide better service and that save money.

In this recording, Vidya sits down with Molly Tamarkin, Asst Dean of Information Technology at the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University.  Let's listen in as they share some thoughts on the 2005 EDUCAUSE/Gartner Update and ponder the future of HR, organizational structures and leadership development.
