Digital Transformation
Digital Transformation
The Big Ten Academic Alliance is on a digital transformation journey to expand access for our stakeholders' collaboration that reaches across over 650,000 students and faculty at our institutions. We are striving to enhance diversity and equity among peer groups and major stakeholders alike. We must think differently/be agile, assess current resources, and creatively fill open positions with different skills and backgrounds supporting this transformation.
5 STEPS
Do your training. Prepare your current environment for change. Cultural shifts are most effective when staff feel psychologically safe to be innovative and take risks.
Develop your plan. “44% of colleges say they don’t have a strategic plan to invest in and use technologies to make large scale changes.”-Chronical of Higher Education Roadmap
Just get to the first checkpoint. Small steps and consistent actions add up over time.
Take time to stop and admire the view. Periodic rest breaks to assess where you have been, make small adjustments, and rest for the road ahead are essential.
Take pictures, share stories, and celebrate your journey. Be prepared to socialize your journey and objectives through the entire process, slowly bringing others into your adventure.
