3	"Review of Year 2008" Review of Year 2008 Mark Kleine 2008 Association President
4	Overview of 2008-2010 Strategic Plan As we approached our 2008-2010 strategic planning, we recognized that we are experiencing a membership that has become flat and in need of rejuvenation. The Strategic Planning process included a re-definition of what we provide as member value and an attempt to determine ways we can develop greater return on AITP investment.
5	Overview of 2008-2010 Strategic Plan To properly identify the critical areas for growth, the Executive Committee drafted a series of questions designed to generate feedback concerning AITP’s most important needs. The questionnaire was sent to the entire Board of Directors. Based on this information, the EC drafted a straw model of hypotheses that covered the topics most pressing to alter the direction of AITP. These hypotheses were discussed and revised in Pittsburgh, PA in November 2007 at the board’s yearly planning session.
6	Overview of 2008-2010 Strategic Plan Using information from an AITP demographic study and the AITP Board questionnaire, we developed a new strategic planning process which called for Board members and key volunteers to stay focused on the top four key areas of growth for AITP. From these rankings, the board agreed to immediately act upon the four most important issues facing AITP during 2008. This was not to say that we would not address other issues during 2008, but rather we agreed to focus our collective resources on affecting those that had a chance to make the most dramatic effect.
7	Overview of 2008-2010 Strategic Plan Four Strategic Paths/Priorities for 2008: Placing a greater emphasis on the benefits we deliver to both Non-Managerial IT professionals and Middle IT Managers – the strength of our membership. Developing materials and services that directly impact the future direction of our chapters through enhanced communication and new leadership resources. Extended outreach to strategic alliances and partners that offer member benefit and greater market awareness. Revamping our image and initiate a re-branding effort to expand the AITP sphere of influence in the IT industry.
8	Overview of 2008-2010 Strategic Plan Through the understanding of AITP’s resources, the hypotheses were then ranked by importance to the Association. Looking forward, our strategic achievements in 2008 have set up the opportunity for further growth by the end of the decade.

45	The Present IT in the Business of “Business” Business now driving IT Strategy Business mandates IT profit centers Global delivery Inevitable communications gap multi-gen workforce & diverse cultures New Job Skills Required Diminished need for deep technical knowledge Broader demand for being versatile in a variety of different areas than those who are specialists Convergence of technology and business skills (business savvy) preferred Redefined role - now competing with MBA’ers
46	The Future The rapid changes in IT will continue The talent shortage will continue with the low enrollment in computer science in our universities The New Technology Organization will provide advancement for professionals who desire to further their leadership and management skills Technology jobs will remain competitive Programming a commodity Moving to mind over technology innovators, visionaries, leaders & scientists of tomorrow But, no matter how sophisticated the technology, it still takes people!
47	Professionals Make the Difference AITP recognizes the need to lead the industry Developing the human element of IT to become the visionaries, innovators and scientists of tomorrow AITP recognizes a focus on professionalism is mandated by the new global technology organization. Converging technology skills with business knowledge Honing leadership, management and soft skills Teamwork across the globe
48	Associations Make the Difference Studies show that professionals who are members of an association are happier! Associations are in the job satisfaction and happiness business Associations are where the happiest, most productive professionals meet Through association involvement, upwardly mobile professionals: Identify themselves Learn from one another Form communities of winners!
49	Associations Create Happy People! Studies show that people truly happy typically are Involved in the community - volunteer work Satisfied with their job – doing what they love Active in their family life – Little League, PTA, Recitals, sports Participate in groups/associations – being around people of like-minds Desirous of being a better person, friend, co-worker – self development
50	AITP Membership Creates Happy People! AITP offers a platform to build great leaders Volunteer opportunities Presentation/Speaking engagement opportunities Recognition as an expert in the industry Career opportunities through networking Published works AITP offers a platform to Pay It Forward Leading and supporting teamwork Mentoring our next generations Sharing and collaborating to lead the profession Community Outreach participation AITP is: A community of happier, more successful people both personally and in business. Transforming into a “Remarkable Association”
51	"Transforming into" Transforming into “Remarkable”
52	Ask Ourselves… Do we offer the best value for our members' investment or is another association about to steal it away? Do we concentrate on understanding our membership needs and articulating what benefits the association has that respond to enhance those member's needs? Our association's survival depends on maintaining and increasing revenue and volunteer levels. Yet, our members are in control of the situation by choosing who will be the recipient of their time and dollar investments. Do we understand the changes in the industry? Do we understand the changes in the IT professional role? Do we know who we are? Who we are not? Do we know who we should be?
53	Who We Are Not Who we are NOT User Group (dedicated to providing a forum for utilizing specific technology) Microsoft .Net Oracle PC Users Cisco Who we are NOT Special Interest Group (dedicated to providing a forum for technology specialty areas) Business Analysts (IIBA) Project Managers (PMI) Enterprise Architects (EAIG) Software Architects (IASA) Security (ISSA)
54	Who We Are A society of professionals with diverse roles in the IT industry
55	Who We Serve Multi-generational workforce in the IT industry
56	Who We Should Be The Leaders of the new IT profession! For over five decades, AITP has been setting the standard for lifelong learning, collaboration and innovation to address the challenges professionals in the Information Technology industry face every day. With more than 6,000 professionals and students relying on one exclusive peer network that connects them to exchange ideas, pursue learning, and share strategies to achieve both personal and professional growth and success, it is imperative that AITP be the association of professionals from the IT business industry.
57	Why AITP must transform There is a pressing need in the IT profession for integrated leadership of business and technology. The industry is demanding it Our competitors have recognized it AITP is positioned to lead it There is a pressing need to focus on the redefined IT professional role: Convergence of business knowledge with technology skills Leadership, management and soft skills There is a pressing need to focus on providing our current members the tools they will need to plan their careers in this new IT industry and for the future.
58	Why AITP Must Transform AITP is about people, leadership, technology, business, and professionalism. AITP is a community of individuals that aspires to reach their true potential, become better leaders, better people. AITP must seize the window of opportunity to be the “leading worldwide society of information technology business professionals and the community of knowledge for the current and next generation of leaders.”
59	Transforming Will Take A Team Accepting the reality of a new AITP will be a hurdle for some. We will need to prepare for cultural, process, and in some ways, behavioral changes – the days of “this is how we have always done it” will be no longer. Each of us must be committed to perform the work necessary to achieve success. To use an old cliché, the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary. It will take forward thinking. It will most certainly take the creativity and intellect of each and every member.
60	Why We Won’t Let It Fail We are committed – are you? To continuously gather and analyze data to make knowledge based decisions To maintain a culture of continuous conversation, pushing and pulling information throughout the entire organization; To foster effective communication, sharing the vision and taking collaborative action! In summary, greatness lies within our members and association leaders - the two must intersect to make sure AITP meets the needs of our members and fulfills its purpose. We stand committed as your Association leaders to help transform AITP into a remarkable association "where the winners meet”.
