Summary: Digital teams don’t always have the skills or resources to undertake a task
successfully themselves. There are times when effort provided from beyond the host institution
could be used. But how do institutions go about deciding when such approaches are
appropriate? Speakers including digital team managers, vendors and consultants will give their
thoughts and invite questions and an open discussion.
