Technology is always changing; departments discover new tools to aid their workflows, enhance the student experience, measure student success etc. Finding the balance between innovation and maintenance is challenging. Your IT governance model, the partnership between IT and its constituents, should help but these models vary greatly depending on size and culture of the institution. We will share different governance models and discuss approaches that work and don’t work.


Inevitably there will be organizational conflict. How can you minimize these conflicts from occurring? If they do happen, how can you proactively and successfully resolve issues?
