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.
