disruptive thinking in higher education
DESCRIPTION
The disruptive changes in Higher Education (HE) require disruptive thinking in the delivery of business processes and IT services to adapt to the magnitude of the change. My view is that the delivery of business processes and IT services that the support a university will change to a mix of commodity business processes and IT services delivered by external providers and that there will be a significant reduction and dependency on the existing Internal IT function.

Challenges
• Data Security– University Policies Towards Data Stored Externally
• Business Process Divergence within Faculties– Single Business Model or Group Business Model?
• University – Service Provider Relationship– Single or Multiple IT Service Providers?
• Appetite for Change– Culture of “Do it (and IT) Internally”
• Sector Specific Service Providers– Are they prevalent in the market?
