About the DMP

Our mission

Informed by extensive consultation with ANU students and staff, the ANU Digital Master Plan (DMP) is a 10-year vision to transform the way our University does business, enabled by:

New ways of working and operating – thinking and acting as a University community
Reimagined, optimised and streamlined processes
Flexible, accessible and user-friendly core systems
Stable and reliable digital infrastructure and support services
A culture of data-driven insight and decision-making.

Our approach and principles

To successfully deliver the ANU Digital Master Plan, we will need to change how we do business – or how we work and think. Our approach is divided into three phases, each setting the foundation for the next:

Phase 1: Stabilise and prepare

Phase 2: Transform

Phase 3: Accelerate

The phased implementation approach allows us to renew and stabilise the University's digital technology foundations, while also plan and build our transformation capabilities. Our principles are:

The business must own and lead the change
We must act on a whole-of-University view. We are stronger together
Data must be treated as a strategic asset
People will be at the centre of all we do
Connectedness of our people, process, technology and data will be critical to our success
We will adopt new ways of working to deliver value faster.

We have also established the ANU Enterprise Architecture Guiding Principles to ensure that any proposed digital solution has clear alignment to the technology architecture of the University. Key principles include:
