This is my presentation on "Rebooting" Jisc, from the EUNIS 2014 Congress at Umeå, Sweden. I begin by introducing Jisc, for anyone not already familiar with who we are and what we do. I highlight a few of our success stories that the EUNIS audience might not be familiar with, talk about some current projects - and how our focus and structure has changed following the Wilson Review. I close with our mission statement and vision for 2020.

- Shift in focus from building capability to building services
- Or more properly: Build, buy or broker
- “More wood behind fewer arrows”
- Difficulty in communicating value proposition for a wide range
of services with different stakeholders
- CIOs, Librarians, Heads of E-Learning, Government, …
- Priorities to be set by community
- Funding to be increasingly subscription based
- “Futures Lab” role, focus on new technologies with impact in
3-5 years
