2. Changing the learning landscape
Leadership in
context
Examples from the JISC Transformations
and Building Capacity programmes
• Small projects based on issues identified by institutional leaders working at
Pro vice-chancellor level
• Projects based on Research, Teaching and Learning, Administration and
Business and Community Engagement

3. Leadership success factors
• Institution-wide Agreement
• Almost all of the issues had an impact outside of the
remit of the leader‟s remit
• Cross institutional teams where needed
• Enforcing Compliance
• “This is going to happen and you will support me”
• Taking decisions and providing a framework to enable
support for the decision-making process

4. Leadership success factors
• Alignment
• All of the realised projects supported at least one of the
Institutional Strategies
• Benefit and Value
• The projects weren‟t exploratory or pilots, they all sought
to demonstrate clear benefits and realise value to the
Institution‟s staff and students

5. Case Studies
• Transition and • Customer Relationship
Retention Management
• Inspiring innovative (Enterprise)
pedagogy (e) • Supporting staff
• Assessment and through accreditation
Feedback • Creating a Mobile
• Digital Literacy campus
• Employability • Curriculum
• PGR Supervision Transformation

6. Modelling Change
• Building capacity > Transformations
• Using Enterprise Architecture as a tool
• Describes how information systems, processes, units
and people work as a whole
• Some models are extremely complex – others less so
• It‟s not a way of auditing, it supports decision making

7. Modelling Change
• what your organisation does
• the processes by which it does these things
• who carries out the activities
• what data is used, how it flows through the organisation and
where it is stored
• what information technologies are employed and how they
are used
• the relationships and dependencies between all of the
above

8. Modelling Change
• JISC DataPool Project

9. Modelling Change
• JISC SMUDIE Project
(Attendance Register Model)

10. Modelling Change
• JISC Coeducate Project

11. Your intervention / change project
• What does your current model look like?
• What is it?
• Who does it?
• What are the processes?
• Are there any technologies or data involved? Where?
• And what are the relationships and dependencies between
them?

14. Changing the learning landscape
Planning for complexity
and change
A brief introduction to Scenario Thinking
• Strategic planning tool used to make flexible long-term plans
• The method is based on creating a series of „different futures‟ generated from
a combination of known factors, such as demographics, with plausible
alternative political, economic, social, technical, legal and environmental
(PESTLE) trends which are key driving forces.

15. Scenario Process
• Scoping the issue
• Trends analysis
• Building Scenarios
• Creating options
• Testing the options
• Decisions

16. Scenario Process
• Scoping the issue
• Trends analysis
• Building Scenarios
• Creating options

• Decisions

17. Stage One
Pestle
trends
Issue
Scenario
Context

19. Generating Ideas
• Blue ideas. Normal
ideas, standard
procedures – these don‟t
require a separate
workshop/activity to
come up with these
• Red ideas. Original,
innovative but realistic in
ambition
• Yellow ideas. Very
creative and inventive but
not yet feasible
