Breakout Session
Delivery Format:
Presentation/Panel Session
We’re more than technology systems and integrations. Today’s forward-thinking IT departments are essential change agents and technical translators that enable accessible data for mission-critical questions and initiatives. CIOs are being asked to usher in the next era of digital transformation—building and maintaining an environment that can handle in-person and online teaching and learning, supporting a more distributed workforce, and improving data insight to action across the student life cycle. IT is uniquely positioned within institutions to serve as the innovator and bridge-builder. This panel discussion will share: (1) the unique perspective IT can bring to institution-wide initiatives, focusing on transformative processes and data for institutional performance, financials and student learning outcomes; (2) practical ideas to further unify your institution through technology and data; (3) best practices when building and advancing cross-departmental connections; and (4) pitfalls to avoid based on real-life experiences from panelists to help you successfully build bridges, lead initiatives, and enable stakeholders.
