We will use the latest technological innovations to deliver an efficient, effective and responsive student journey. To achieve this:

- We will ensure that technological innovations in industry are monitored and reflected in the development of skills in our curriculum to prepare our students for work.
- We will embrace the transformation of new learning technologies to support organisational improvement in all College operations by building an ambition across curriculum and support services to embrace cutting-edge digital innovation.
- We will seek to understand and mitigate the impact of barriers to digital transformation in our stakeholder groups, such as digital poverty.
We will create greater business efficiency and carbon reduction through technology. To achieve this:
- We will accelerate our progress towards becoming a paperless organisation, by championing pilot areas of the College at an advanced stage of digitisation and implementing a large scale change programme.
- We will monitor hard copy resource requirements, and provide targeted support to teams and staff who may require support with digitisation.
We will support College departments to design and articulate their digital transformation plans. We will increase the digital proficiency of our staff. To achieve this:
- We will identify digital skills gaps and areas for development through a robust organisational training needs assessment.
