Use cases
About
The JISC Institutional Innovation Programme mind map template provides a structured framework for planning and managing institutional change in higher education, covering 174 nodes across six core branches. It is used by university leaders, project managers, and ICT strategists to align top-down policy with bottom-up technological innovation. The template maps out 'Why: the problem to be addressed' (including political, programmatic, and pragmatic drivers), 'What: is actually being changed' (innovation themes and techno-cultural enablers), 'Support services', 'How' (change management), and 'Outputs'. Key nodes such as 'Economic recovery and public funding', 'Digital literacy', and 'Peer-to-peer participatory culture' are explicitly referenced. This JISC Institutional Innovation Programme mind map serves as both a planning tool and a cheat sheet for understanding the complex interplay of strategy, technology, and culture in institutional innovation.
