It is a question I keep coming back to as I continue to develop our Student Journey Management System (SJMS), and watch most of the sector carry
- [The Ultimate Guide to Mapping UK Higher Education Data Models](https://futurehorizonseducation.com/coding-an-interactive-uk-higher-education-data-map/) - For an academic who spent most of his career teaching Shakespeare, Theatre and Performing Arts I find myself strangely drawn to datasets these days.I have also been an academic registrar and university system transformation lead – so maybe it’s not that strange. When we started building the Student Journey Management System (SJMS) using new coding

These systems cost millions to implement and require dedicated teams to maintain. Having experienced painful implementations of such systems myself, I wanted to know if I could build a viable alternative armed with
- [How to Vibe Code a Student Record System!](https://futurehorizonseducation.com/confessions-of-a-transformation-lead-part-2-i-actually-built-a-student-record-system/) - I have often argued universities needed to think and act more like lean startups, based on my own experiences of the difference between successful and failed transformations. But the tools were not there for teams of academics, admin staff and students to experiment without handing system implementation over to a supplier and consultants for long
- [The Ultimate Guide to Building AI-Powered University Systems](https://futurehorizonseducation.com/developing-university-systems-from-scratch-using-ai/) - Follow the journey of how Future Horizons has been using AI and automation tools such as n8n and Zapier to develop university systems from scratch.

The system is positioned as an alternative to legacy platforms like Tribal SITS and Ellucian Banner — at a fraction of the total cost. In my previous articles I catalogued the self-build of a Student
- [Can Universities Adapt to the World of Vibe Coding?](https://futurehorizonseducation.com/confessions-of-a-university-transformation-lead-5can-the-university-sector-adapt-to-the-world-of-vibe-coding/) - When I was about 11 years old a new technology product was released that looked like a cross between a yoghurt carton and a cash till. But I wanted one. The ZX80 was my first taste of computing and I used it to teach myself simple coding and learn the BASIC language. A couple of
- [A Leader’s Guide to Planning for AI That Actually Works](https://futurehorizonseducation.com/a-leaders-guide-to-planning-for-ai-that-actually-works/) - If you are a business leader or team manager, like me, you are probably exhausted by the relentless volume of AI hype.
