### Discover why curriculum management is now a strategic must-have for universities. 

 

As more and more universities look at ways to drive efficiency and agility in order to survive and thrive, effective curriculum management is now mission-critical. The growing momentum for technology to support end-to-end curriculum stems from the fact that a university's curriculum is its core product - and the ability to manage it effectively underpins institutional agility and a university’s ability to differentiate itself in the market.

In this pioneering thought leadership paper, James Crooks, CIO of Durham University, and Lyn Alderman, Dean of Academic Transformation at the University of Southern Queensland, explore the core drivers behind the increasing prioritisation and adoption of curriculum management as an enabler of agility and efficiency, the risk and impact of universities continuing to use manual processes to manage curriculum, and what it takes to secure a positive return on investment.
