Mark Ferrar, CIO of Newcastle University, talks about transforming the HE sector.

Technology within universities have not followed the same road to digitisation, moving slowly in how it has reorganised. Whilst reliable and stable the transformation piece doesn’t mirror the fast-moving tech sector. So if you’re a CIO in a university, how do you break that trend and drive the evolution of tech services in higher education? Mark Ferrar, CIO at Newcastle University, talks about his journey to bring their services up to date. If you want to join Mark’s team and support this process why not see the roles that are available? https://microsites.harveynash.com/newcastle-uni/ Whilst you’re here, why not join Dave Savage next Thursday for an evening of tech discussion? We’ll be in London close to Aldgate East: http://bit.ly/2nLFkkX
