Consultation with the university community is underway. The following principles will guide the creation of the digital strategy:
- Continuation of UBC's technology journey from utility to modernization to strategic transformation
- Interface with university strategic and operational planning
- Broad engagement across the UBC community, ensuring user perspective
- Focus throughout on capabilities and impact, rather than technology per se
- Input from experts, both external and internal to UBC
- Leverage on existing governance and community input mechanisms where possible
- Respect for competing demands on students, faculty, staff, and university leadership
- Balance of aspiration and pragmatism, but no ingoing constraints on solution space
- Connection with the external and Chief Information Office (CIO) leadership reviews
