What are the challenges to realising digital transformation in school management?

Technology woes are a common problem, especially in a school, where legacy systems may be slowing down a school leader’s ability to view data effectively – especially if some of that data is still paper-based

Chances are, your management information system (MIS) isn’t fit-for-purpose, and certainly isn’t future-proof. Nor is it allowing you a clear, whole-school view of all the information a school leadership team should be able to access whenever necessary. We’ve teamed up with IRIS to create an in-depth sector survey where you can have your say about management information systems, how effective yours are and how they affect you. Take the survey

• Do you often find yourself working extra hours?

Are you working longer than you should? Why? What’s keeping you in the office?

• What is the greatest challenge facing schools?

Not just your school, but schools all cross England – what do you think are the broader pain points for them?

• How effective is the technology you currently have in your school at supporting work processes?

Is your current system fit-for-purpose? If so, for how long? If not, why not?

• Do you prioritise investment in your school?

Do you believe that spending money on the right products and services, for the betterment of the future of your school, should be a priority?

• How do we future-proof the way you process and access your data?

The over-arching question is: is your MIS fit-for-purpose? Is it helping you save time and lessening the workload and pressures upon you? What are the specific difficulties you face when trying to make your school’s back-office processes more efficient? Picking the right service to suit your school can be a minefield of trial and error.

To do that EdExec and IRIS, a leader in the edtech sphere, need your help to answer these key questions – and more – so that we can dive deep into your wants and needs as a school business leader. Join in now, let us know what you think and know that your voice is being heard by the experts.
