Streamlined Digital Experience

Goal #3 - Streamlined Digital Experience

Streamline the digital experience of the LMU community by introducing platforms, processes, and governance structures across separate units at LMU; introduce workflow and collaboration technologies that replace paper-based processes.

Initiatives

Each goal is defined and accompanied by specific initiatives that either maintain (Run), expand upon (Grow), or completely rethink (Transform) the current ITS approach. In addition, each goal has metrics that are key indicators of movement towards that goal.
