Case Study | Department of Education and Training (DET) - Smart Classrooms eBusiness Strategy

BCI was engaged by Queensland Government to deliver the $150 million Smart Classrooms eBusiness Strategy (OneSchool) for 1276 state schools and 40,000 teachers in Queensland, addressing new ways of working.

This engagement involved significant stakeholder consultation, best practice research, requirements elicitation and specification, process modeling and mapping, process improvement and service redesign as well as major workplace and workforce redesign and change management.

The success of the smart classrooms strategy has been recognised as revolutionary and instrumental in advancing Education Queensland’s 21st century teaching and learning program.

The development of the Smart Classrooms eBusiness strategy also led to BCI being engaged to plan, design and manage the successful delivery of a $100 million bespoke technology development of smart classroom enablers.

As a result of this work, DET won a prestigious Australian Computer Society on-line systems award and numerous other awards within the educational sector and received a very high satisfaction rating from 96% of Schools (Principals and Teachers).

The Queensland Government Chief Technology Officer acknowledged these programs of work as exemplary and one of only a few major QGovernment initiatives that have delivered measurable and material benefits within expected tolerances for scope, cost, time, quality and risks. Smart Classrooms was recognised by this review as being one of very few Queensland Government Programs successfully delivered on time and to budget, in the last decade.
