Optimize the Future of Education

Innovate the digital transformation journey in education institutions

Education CIOs identify digital skills and technologies for sustainable transformation

Education institutions recognize that the transformational power of digital is forcing them to change their business models in response to consumer demands and competitive pressure. Gartner knows the importance of making institutions more easily adaptable to change and what this entails from both a learning environment and administration system perspective.

Emerging digital transformation trends in education

While technology in itself often drives change, CIOs must be able to tell how technology impacts the institution’s operation model, business model (sustainable funding model) and ultimately the education ecosystem. Education's evolution requires a shift in administrative and educational technologies to support new and evolving ways of doing business.

Working with Gartner helps us to understand the value of what we are doing and put that in terms that the rest of the universe can understand so that we can truly measure it but more important it gives us the ability to focus on the right priorities.
