We all know innovation is important for digital transformation and remaining relevant. Yet, IT innovation is not our institutions' core mission. As services are centralized and outsourced, our role changes to enabling the innovation of faculty and students. Let's discuss shifting our teams' mindsets from IT support to innovation support.
