Destination Digital. The ups and downs of UCL’s transformation journey

Destination Digital. The ups and downs of UCL’s transformation journey Andy Smith, CIO, University College London Who would join a university as CIO during a pandemic? Having joined UCL in May 2020 this has been the experience for Andy Smith and he lives to tell you the tale. Andy has set out to help this large and comprehensive university to harness modern digital methods and technologies to enable education, research, and to digitise how the university works. It has not all been smooth sailing and the transformation is far from complete. Andy will discuss the bumps along the road and what he has learned about trying to deliver transformational change in a university, including a shift to cloud and an ‘AGILE’ transformation. The drama has included a new Provost, the development of a new strategy for UCL, as well as all the challenges of university life, IT, and COVID that we share. Should that water really be coming through the floor of the datacentre? Sponsored by AWS Title: Destination Digital. The ups and downs of UCL’s transformation journey Time: 13:45pm - 14:15pm Location: Charter Suite
