Institutional digital teams are increasingly being asked to devolve day-to-day decision-making and control to faculties and departments. Doing so without a strong, functioning system of governance, however, can be a recipe for disaster.
From ownership issues to legal ones, in this plenary we explore some of the common problems with devolving digital management to local users. We will also look at how to design and implement a pragmatic system of governance that can help overcome them.
