Since then, attitudes to digitalisation have shifted. While the global pandemic presents massive opportunities for the sector to better integrate digital tools across academic and operational terrains, institutions risk falling prey to the trap of digital delusion, adopting technology merely for the sake of technology. Veterans of this work know that the widespread use of Zoom or Teams alone do not lead to the systemic change at the heart of digital transformation. This webinar goes deeper into this topic and features three main elements:
1). A review of HUMANE benchmarking survey data on pre- and
post-outbreak attitudes towards digital transformation and
investments
2). Snapshots of global best practices in developing digital
transformation strategies and leveraging data and technology to
address specific learning and operational challenges
3). A panel discussion with higher education experts on their
experiences leading digital transformation initiatives and
overcoming common challenges (e.g., financial, cultural,
organisational) to adoption
