This article by EY argues that "To help create this digital mindset, transformation leaders need to: - Get technology into people’s hands quickly. This way, they can quickly see the benefits and provide early feedback on additional opportunities or barriers that can be addressed in subsequent iterations. - Communicate deliberately and persistently about action and impact. Make sure everyone can see real impact quickly. When people see what’s possible, they are more likely to be inspired to get involved in gaining similar benefits in their part of the campus. - Give people the time and space to learn. To achieve digital transformation at scale, all university staff need to be digitally mature and teaching faculty must learn new ways of teaching. Learning will likely need to be delivered at scale, via large events or online platforms. Make continuous learning an expectation of the role and allow time for it. Our book "The Digital Mindset" explores exactly HOW to do this - specifically in the chapters on experimentation and transition. #digital #digitaltransformation #digitalmindset #learninganddevelopment
