Digital standards don’t just shape how websites are built, they influence how teams work together. At McGill University, one team created a community of practice that turned guidelines into a shared culture. This session explores how to embed digital standards into your governance, get buy-in from across your institution and create sustainable ways of working.

Key takeaways

  • Apply strategies for fostering a collaborative approach to maintaining digital standards and governance.

  • Leverage education and outreach to secure community buy-in.

  • Follow methods for adapting to evolving tools and practices, including the increased use of generative AI.

Joyce has been creating websites and digital content for more than 20 years. She currently works at McGill University in Montreal, Canada as Manager, Digital Communications and has also held positions on development and communications teams at the University of Victoria, Western University and Kings University College.

An award-winning speaker, Joyce has presented at conferences across North America, including DrupalCon, Digital Collegium, and #PSEWEB about web standards, governance and user experience.
