Jisc post-Wilson review

Wilson positives

»‘Internationally, Jisc is one of a small group of organisations acknowledged to be “world class” in providing leadership in ICT’

»‘Jisc is unique in the UK, providing what many stakeholders have described as a “holistic approach” to the sectors’ needs’

Wilson improvement areas

»‘The portfolio is too large’

»‘The application process is opaque’

»‘Few projects are translated into live services or take too long to develop’

»‘It is important for Jisc not to see itself primarily as a research organisation or to engage in a large number of speculative projects’

Our propositions to you

»“There is a wider set of national-scale shared technology services, adding quality and efficiency, waiting to be delivered.”

Co-design

Co-design principles

• Focused - do less better, be realistic

• User-centred – evolving process, involve users in projects

• Co-design / Open - co-designed, co-owned and co-implemented, open and transparent process

• Agile - a light touch approach

• Experimental – taking proportionate risks, try new things

1. Access and identity management

2. National monograph strategy

3. Summer of student innovation

Scaling up Co-design

› Lessons learnt from Co-design pilot

› Risks of scaling up– Overloading individual Co-design partners– Failing to span all Jisc impact areas

› Organise under strategic themes e.g.– Response to FELTAG, ETAG– MOOC platform for all

› New Co-design Steering Group– Including AoC, ETF, ALT, PVCs, BUFDG, NUS, ALT and

original partners

› Retro-fitting existing project portfolio

› Retaining in-year agility
