Tuesday, May 7, at 11:00 AM ET | 8:00 AM PT

Webinar Summary

As technology changes, so must IT

In this high-risk, high-reward era of disruptive technologies, the role of IT is pivotal. As organizations rush to extract value from technologies such as generative AI, IT must lean into the steep curve of change and lead the charge.

IT leaders will need to adopt an Exponential IT mindset to champion innovation, guide their organizations through technology-driven transformations, seize new opportunities, and ensure sustained competitiveness.

 

Admittedly, it won’t be easy 

Transitioning to IT unification is challenging for individual institutions for numerous reasons:  

  • ​The pace of technological change in higher education institutions is traditionally slower than in other industries, due in part to chronic resource constraints and legacy systems.
  • ​Nevertheless, it will be critical for IT to enable new technologies and unlock their exponential value.
  • ​IT leaders will need to embrace an expanded role as advisor and strategist at the highest level to navigate new opportunities for value and mitigate the associated risks.


But fortune will favor the bold

Join this dynamic webinar where we’ll explore:

  • ​How IT can play a pivotal role in transforming the industry through technology.
  • ​The challenges that Exponential IT can help solve.
  • ​What you need to do to prepare for Exponential IT.
  • ​How you can lead change management within IT and your institution.
