How to Successfully Implement Software in Schools and Trusts

Seminar brief: Covid-19 was arguably the catalyst to digitally transform the education sector. The list of digital systems in play in schools and trusts up and down the country is vast, and it’s only going to grow. Momentum towards adopting software to streamline processes, unlock efficiencies, and improve workflows is gaining pace. Yet, while the systems themselves are all-singing, all-dancing by nature, unless they are implemented correctly and with comprehensive considerations, the scope for real, genuine benefit is minimal.

In this seminar, Andrew Mackrell will explore: 

  • Why there’s never been a better time for the education sector to truly embrace all aspects of EdTech!
  • How to review current software to aid decision-making for new systems.
  • What is important to schools and MATs when selecting a software provider, including the significance of additional support and services.
  • Best practice to strategically structure new software implementation for continued success.

The seminar will draw upon experience obtained from trusts that have recently adopted new systems to support a range of processes, from asset management to compliance activities. Andrew will share their insight about the key considerations that must be taken into account during the exercise, as well as genuine thoughts as to what works well and not so well!

There will also be opportunity for discussion, so we encourage you to get involved and ask some questions! Delegates will be shown resources designed to prompt thought about not just the benefits of digitising systems, but the importance of choosing a tool bespoke to the nuances of the sector and their individual organisation’s needs. 

There will also be the chance to obtain a copy of The Secrets of Successful Software Implementation in Education, Every®’s fresh and comprehensive guide for schools and trusts.

Take home points: 

  • One system doesn’t necessarily fit all; choosing the right system for your school or trust’s unique needs is where real potential lies!
  • Lessons and recommendations from trusts that have recently implemented new software within their schools.
  • How to navigate the EdTech market to begin your journey to smoother operations.

This session is for: All! We especially encourage the attendance of CEOs, Headteachers, CFOs, and SBMs.
