JISC

• Been in existence since 1993• Follett report 2000: “JISC is perceived as a

UK success story, providing a network of world-class standard and a range of excellent services”

• Informed by engagement with its communities

JISC: If it didn’t exist it would have to be reinvented! JISC is an example of a centralised shared service which provides economies of scale and is pro-active in promoting and delivering innovation across the higher and further education sector.

make enough money – e.g. Middlesex University example

What Happens Now?

• Days of growth have ended• Web services will develop but with serious

constraints• One of the most important things now is

your professional social network: use the next 3 days to develop it!

But What of the Future?

Possible that cuts and changing priorities could see the sustainability of IWMW questioned

Should we: Stop doing it? Reduce length of event? Run it as a virtual or hybrid event? Allow commercial providers to provide

alternatives? Look for new business models (e.g. greater

sponsorship – the ‘Netsoft lecture’)?

Please tell us what you think during the event
