Seminar brief: Schools and MATs invest a lot of time and money into IT resources, including devices, software and licenses. Yet few SBM’s feel their organisations have a robust strategy for the development and sustainable use of IT.
In this seminar Neil Limbrick will explore:
What is the purpose of an IT strategy.
What should and should not be covered in an IT strategy.
Who are the key people that should be involved,
In this thought-provoking workshop, Neil will help you understand how to assess your IT provision, and how to focus on the areas that matter and will have the biggest impact in your school.
Take home points:
Gain tips and simple techniques to simplify how you think about developing an IT strategy.
Develop an understanding of how your IT support teams tackle things and how to provide them with both challenge and support.
Walk away with the confidence and knowledge to tackle an IT strategy for your setting.
This session is for: SBMs and other senior leaders in schools and MATs
