Technology in higher education: defining the strategic leader

A joint report between Jisc and EDUCAUSE on the changing role of the IT leader.

How can IT professionals make the step into leadership roles?

Last year, Jisc began work with EDUCAUSE - the US organisation for IT professionals in higher education - to find out the skillset of the CIO of the future. One of the findings of our project was that many aspiring technology leaders find it difficult to make the step up. Louisa Dale, director Jisc group sector intelligence, talks through the learnings and opens a call for IT professionals to get involved in the next phase of work.
