How do you take a central strategic activity & make it purposeful & individual for each academic? Making it real. We do this through discourse.

@digisim #TULTE17 40 Put People At The Centre | Impact Be clear on what the impact with be for people. Focus on the benefits, but also recognise the challenges and how they will be overcome. Use your champions to share your vision and to take forward the activity. They are natural supporters, work closely with them as they operate at a grass roots level. Champions Make it accessible. The key to engagement is to make it accessible. Break down the project into achievable goals for staff to focus on. Don’t be afraid to ask if everything is ok. Create an environment where failure is part of a learning process, not the end result. Are you ok? Don’t look inwards for solutions. Connect with others globally for guidance, resources and experience. Global Gather data, quantitative and qualitative. Its the latter that helps to make the changes. Let others tell their stories.
