About the Event

This dynamic afternoon session showcases how London’s universities are embracing collaboration, creativity, and strategic communication to drive digital transformation.

Dashboards on a Shoestring: The Power of Collaboration and Communication 
Lucy Harrold from Goldsmiths showcases how Goldsmiths Strategy and Planning team built a comprehensive dashboard suite from the ground up in just one year – with virtually no budget. How we used creative problem solving and collaboration across teams to develop a low-tech automation solution. We’ll also look at how good change management and communications helped to improve data literacy and introduce a data-first culture to Academics.

Key takeaways:

  • Make the most of existing tools—small efforts can lead to big savings
  • Cross-team collaboration fills knowledge gaps and strengthens outcomes
  • Communication is essential—without support and engagement, even the best dashboards go unused

Mohammed Aufogul shares UCL’s progress in developing SMART buildings, highlighting the importance of collaboration, stakeholder engagement, and strategic planning. This session outlines how UCL is aligning its infrastructure with digital ambitions through inclusive dialogue and a clearly defined roadmap, turning vision into actionable steps.

Key takeaways:

  • Innovation thrives on collaboration
  • Engaging stakeholders ensures meaningful adoption
  • A clear roadmap transforms ideas into reality
