Navigating Enterprise Evolution
Day 3 Elite Sponsor Workshops
How higher education organizations navigate the accelerating pace of continuous change and advancement is critical to their survival. Failure to adapt in a strategic manner can mean improper investment in the latest technical trend only to find out that it offers limited return on the investment while failing to identify a strategic differentiator could mean being a step behind your peers. These sessions on Navigating Enterprise Evolution will help you think about how to position your teams and campus to be better informed and ready to identify the proper path forward for your community.
8:00 – 8:30 – Breakfast and Welcome Remarks
8:30 – 9:30 – The Role of the Executive Leader in Enterprise Evolution
- Executives play a critical role in the success of enterprise evolution on their campuses. How they support and develop their teams and interact with other campus leaders can set the tone for how well a particular project is received and delivered.
9:30 – 9:45 – Break
9:45 – 10:45 – Managing Cultural and Organizational Change Within Enterprise Evolution
- Enterprise Evolution innately comes with changes to the way campuses operate, which can be threatening, terrifying, or exciting depending on your role within the change. Proper change management can help people make the shift from detractor to champion (or at least willing participant) and keep your campus moving forward.
10:45 – 11:00 – Break
11:00 – 12:00 – Managing the Technology Portfolio Within Enterprise Evolution
- Keeping track of technology procurements and implementations can be challenging given the high pace of advancement and the ease of acquisition. There are methods that can make this easier to do and help avoid overspending on duplicative or ineffective solutions.
12:00 – 12:45 – Lunch and CIO Panel: Overcoming Challenges in Campus Enterprise Evolution
Hear from your peers on how they are managing the challenges that they are facing on their campuses in a moderated panel discussion.
