We are seeking your help to imagine UBC's digital future. Your input and ideas will shape UBC's first institution-wide digital strategy. The intent is to create a living, adaptable vision of how we can move forward together and leverage digital opportunities, now and in the future.
Guiding principles
Consultation with the university community is underway. The following principles will guide the creation of the digital strategy:
- Continuation of UBC's technology journey from utility to modernization to strategic transformation
- Interface with university strategic and operational planning
- Broad engagement across the UBC community, ensuring user perspective
- Focus throughout on capabilities and impact, rather than technology per se
- Input from experts, both external and internal to UBC
- Leverage on existing governance and community input mechanisms where possible
- Respect for competing demands on students, faculty, staff, and university leadership
- Balance of aspiration and pragmatism, but no ingoing constraints on solution space
- Connection with the external and Chief Information Office (CIO) leadership reviews
Advisory Committees
Advisory Committees participating in the development of the university’s digital strategy, include academic and administrative representation, to ensure completion of the roadmap is aligned with the above initiatives.
