There is no doubt that IT has faced up to historic demands – and opportunities – these last few years. Propelled by COVID, instructional missions went digital. High-performance computing and networking have become indispensable elements of research infrastructure. And IT appropriately – and perhaps notoriously – consumes a growing share of the academy’s financial resources. What does all of this signify? Have IT leaders and their investments hit the sweet spot? Is IT, at last, creating and acculturating a data-informed and improvement-oriented environment across all aspects of higher education’s mission? How do CIOs answer the question "So What?”

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• How some CIOs are harnessing information to support and inform decision-making
  
• How meaningful, timely and contextualized information is addressing problems that are keeping trustees and institutional leaders up at night
  
• How using information to inform consequential decisions is key to getting the proper “bang for the buck” for your existing technology investments
