Session Overview
Higher Education is undergoing a major change. Old ways are crumbling as the value proposition continues to be questioned. Student needs are changing, while the ways we deliver education and work together are transforming. As leaders, it is clear we must reshape or dismantle many of the old structures to build anew.
In this four-hour workshop, we will focus on the skills and sensibilities needed to meet these challenges, especially as more of our people find themselves looking for alternatives to working in our institutions. At the heart of this “Great Resignation” is people’s desire for greater meaning and connection in their work with more flexibility in the way they can work. Now, more than ever, we need to demonstrate how our institutions can provide the right opportunities to retain our best people.
