A Pivotal Moment for Higher Education & Technology | Cloud Wars Live

The Big Themes:

• The lessons of the pandemic response - Stacy says she and her colleagues discovered that WSU as an institution could be much more nimble and fast-moving than they might have thought before
• Change management when moving to the cloud - Workday's systems revolutionized the employee experience at WSU, which involved some challenges but mostly major benefits
• Evolution in the CFO role and in higher ed in general - a need for flexibility and the breaking down of silos are key themes prompting change in both areas

The Big Quote: "Everything's going to involve money. It's all going to involve technology, high-level decisions about impacts, the need for data analysis and all of that... I think it's a welcomed change that those silos will be broken down, not just for the CFO, but for other leaders at the campuses."
