In fall 2019, Next Generation assisted the LACCD, the largest community college district in the nation, to recruit its first cabinet-level Chief Information Officer to oversee the transformation and delivery of IT technology services for the district’s nine colleges and Educational Service Center. An executive search strategy for the Vice Chancellor/CIO was envisioned to foster innovation, encourage the discovery of new ways to use technology, reimagine the IT organization of approximately 160 staff (located at the colleges and in the district office), and plan the effective use of an annual operating budget of nearly $15 million and $400 million in bond funds to support infrastructure upgrades across all campuses and the Educational Services Center.
