Best Digital Transformation Award

The Best Digital Transformation Award is a great way to showcase your school’s journey to implementing new and world-class technology.

This award recognises schools who have pushed past the expected digital proficiency which might be expected of a business school and developed or implemented a seamless digital experience.

This award has been developed to showcase digital change in any aspect of  the running of a business school – for example, this could be in implementing new learning management systems, adopting new devices in the school, or digitising administrative processes. This could be school wide or the implementation of a specific technology in one module or area.
