A shortened week due to Bank Holiday Monday, but nonetheless plenty of things going. As usual a short summary follows of the key updates:
On Tuesday it was good to see people back in the office refreshed after the festive break and with no major service or electrical interruptions to report. I checked up with the technical teams on the first morning back and also with Estates. There had been no call-outs or interruptions over the Christmas or New Year period.
The really positive news this week was the success so far of the MFD roll-out, which has been full steam ahead before and after the break. There was a very positive email from the Dean of Students. It's too soon to call, with the students and many academic staff still away until next week.
I gave a little assistance with a feedback survey by obtaining the UCISA template from the Exec team in Oxford and this is in relation to the upcoming "Tech Talks" for which there is a roadmap - this is being shared at next Leadership Team to brief everyone. I personally think this is a really positive development from within the team, which has been further supported and re-inforced by comments about this being mandatory not an optional session.
There are another couple of "Digital Lenses" based on feedback received from the LIS customer service team and also a very productive meeting with the Dean of Social Sciences). I was impressed with his focus on the bigger picture challenges. I have a number of these developing now.
I also reviewed the results of the JISC Digital Capability survey last year and that makes for useful reading in the Wolverhampton context too.
Finally, we made some good progress on invitations to the inaugural Digital Advisory Boards and getting an outline agenda and invites out to prospects for expressions of interest will be a priority early next week. I will also (as a courtesy) run past procurement colleagues.
