Tuesday, March 22, 2016 | 9:30AM–10:20AM | Room 552
Session Type: Professional Development
All too often, IT departments swiftly deploy an organizational "project" (e.g., CRM deployment, online enrollment processes, etc.) yet stumble when it comes to effective implementation and rollout across the business. Think of the CRM platform that gets rolled out but remains unused by a sales organization. Or a digital learning environment that is never fully adopted by the students. In other words, the organization got an "A" on choosing the project but an "F" in the the course. In this Q&A, Atrion's CEO Tim Hebert will lead a facilitated dialogue with Post University's Mike Statmore and Wesleyan University's Karen Warren about the top drivers in the higher education space today and how to pass the course when it comes to IT rollouts.


OUTCOMES: Learn about the main drivers in the higher education space that inform technological decisions * Gain insight as to why so many technology implementations fail * Explore how IT can ensure success when it comes to technology roadmaps
