Information technology changes at a rapid pace with new innovations appearing continuously. Information technology leaders strive to implement appropriate technology to solve problems and leverage technology in innovative ways. It can be a challenge to determine how to consume and integrate information technology in an existing operational environment. Consider opportunities to use IT to solve a real-world problem. Ideas for real-world problems could be:

Using information technology to assist in treating and stopping the Ebola outbreak

Designing a network infrastructure that could bring a poorer part of the world into the twenty-first century

Creating a website, mobile application, and/or database that supports connecting those in need of addiction treatment to centers and practitioners who are immediately available

After brainstorming some ideas, describe your idea and explain how you will scale back the scope of your idea into an IT project that can be used to solve a real-world problem.
