Leading Digital Transformation

A Change Impact Programme designed to support digital transformation, ensuring your institution stays at the forefront of digital innovation in HE.

Delivering successful digital transformation and nurturing a digital culture within universities, requires strong digital leadership and sits as a key role in defining the trajectory of an institution.

Through our new Leading Digital Transformation Change Impact Programme (CHiP), we will work collaboratively with higher education organisations to address key challenges and highlight the key components required to build a successful digital culture. By joining the programme you will gain first-hand knowledge and insights into the key factors contributing to the success of digital transformation, as well as, a tailored institutional report to inform future practice.

Please note that this programme is now closed for recruitment, you can still register your interest for future cohorts here.

Structure of the project

The ChIP encompasses six distinct events for participants to actively participate in, ultimately culminating in their integration into a digital transformation network on Advance HE’s Connect platform. These events include a survey-based assessment of digital culture within institutions, identifying key areas of concern and potential improvement.
