Webinar | Turning Resistance into Opportunity in Higher Education
This webinar is a part of the EDUCAUSE Industry Insights series.
Transform technology adoption challenges into collaboration opportunities across your institution.
As an IT leader in higher education, you've likely experienced the frustration firsthand: that carefully planned LMS migration meets faculty pushback, the critical security update faces staff resistance, or the innovative new system sits underutilized despite months of preparation. Even the most essential technology initiatives can stall when campus communities resist change.
But what if resistance didn't have to derail your projects? What if you could turn skeptical faculty into champions and transform reluctant departments into engaged partners?
Join us for this exclusive webinar designed specifically for higher education IT professionals. Using Prosci's (2025 EDUCAUSE Strategic Partner) research-backed methodologies, you'll learn to proactively manage resistance and ensure your technology investments deliver their intended value from day one.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand why even beneficial technology changes encounter resistance.
- Identify the real reasons faculty and staff resist IT initiatives.
- Apply proven strategies for preventing resistance during technology implementations.
- Learn effective techniques for responding when resistance does occur.
- Reframe pushback as valuable feedback to strengthen your IT strategy.
