Assistant State CIOs

In support of the Governor's Action Plan for IT, ASCIOs are responsible for partnering with agencies in the development of consistent, coordinated, and collaborative multi-year modernization strategies for each of the six policy verticals. The development of individual agency Modernization Action Plans is foundational to this work. As is the establishment of common definitions, templates, assessment tools, and repeatable processes, development of business-driven Agency IT Strategic plans, and maturation of agency IT governance.

Beyond these specific deliverables, ASCIOs are also tasked with building trusted relationships with their agency partners and promoting the values embedded within the modernization vision for Oregon -- encompassing people, processes, and technology -- and serving as a guide to agencies as they embark upon their journeys towards digital transformation. 

In collaboration with agency leadership and IT resources, ASCIOs will assist agencies in assembling plans and roadmaps related to:

• Modernization:
  Put People Value first while leveraging technology to meet expanding business goals

• Governance:
  Business driven processes for effective and efficient use of Information Technology

• Transformation of Service Delivery:
  Leverage resources, drive innovation, and stay resilient in the face of disruption

• Alignment to Enterprise Policies and Guidance:
