Technology is changing how we teach, learn, research, operate, communicate, and socialize throughout our institutions. Successful IT leaders provide the strategic vision to lead the university through the myriad of choices and help evaluate, leverage, and support changing technologies and services. A challenging aspect of innovation is helping the institution deal with the inevitable change that comes with new technologies and services. We will focus on the role of CIO and CISO in leading institutional change as trusted advisor, visionary, and relationship builder.
Objectives:- Consider barriers to successful change and mitigation strategies
- Identify strategies for leading institutional change found in several case studies
- Focus on how personal qualities such as credibility and vision, as well as the ability to build meaningful relationships, support the role of change driver
