The three courses are offered in the Department of Public Administration and Policy and taught by CTG staff and faculty fellows.
Foundations of Government Information Strategy and Management introduces the interaction of policy, management, and information technology in the design, operation, and evaluation of government operations and public services. This course relies heavily on case studies to illustrate how these domains play out in multiple settings and across sectors -- public, private, and not-for-profit.
Building a Case for IT investments in the Public Sector presents a formal methodology for making IT investment decisions including problem definition, stakeholder analysis, process analysis, best and current practices, technology awareness, and case building. Students will engage in a project with a university or government customer to build a business case for a new IT investment.
