In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, research institutions are redefining what it means to achieve excellence. As organizations face new challenges and uncertainty, technology has played a significant role in driving institutional efficiency, fostering cross-departmental collaboration, and facilitating strategic growth. 

Drawing on real-world experiences from Baruch College’s Director of Sponsored Programs & Research Zolicia R. Abotsi, MBA, CRA, and Lehman College’s AVP of Research Administration and Strategy Dr. J. Brandon Begarly, we’ll discuss best practices in developing an effective strategy for undertaking complicated, large-scale implementations and how visionary leadership, strategic investment, and a culture of adaptability drive success.

We invite you to join our webinar to hear from Brandon and Zolicia about:

• Building digital-ready research ecosystems
• Managing change and engaging stakeholders during system transitions
• Measuring the organizational impact of technology initiatives
• And more!
