Today is a special day for @suebecks.bsky.social & I. We started #SocMedHE in 2015 w/ Helen Rodger, and with the support of many colleagues from @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social. #SocMedHE24 allows us to look back & see how our collaborative work has made impact & contributed to the SocMed community.

Our workshop was the last session of the day but we still had great engagement. I talked about our work with Jisc as a pilot institution, our approach, and how we used the maturity model as a conversational and exploration tool for digital change. #ALTc24 #DXHE

The introduction slide titled “Cultivating collaboration for strategic change using Jisc’s framework and maturity model for digital transformation”

Background of digital transformation starting with the Digital Learning Framework in 2017

Strategic themes: leadership & culture, infrastructure, digital capabilities, digital LTA

Success factors: senior leadership, building on other work, prioritisation, focus, connection with Jisc, connection to other work, adapting.
