Higher Education Leadership Summit 2010 - Leading in the agile university: innovation, creativity and technology

UK higher education has survived and indeed thrived through many periods of turmoil. The longevity of higher education institutions (HEIs) suggests that the sector is 'getting it right' in delivering what they were established to do: the core business of teaching and learning, research, and contribution to business, community and society.

But the future is now even harder to predict. We can anticipate that we shall be operating in an increasingly challenging, competitive and complex world. The assumption is that leadership teams that are innovative and creative, who also put technology to maximum strategic advantage, will be amongst the 'winners' emerging from this difficult climate. Building in that 'agility' may be crucial to leadership capacity for change.

The Leadership Foundation's 2010 Higher Education Summit brings together leaders and managers from across higher education institutions to consider current approaches to fostering and harnessing innovation, creativity and technology in the UK and internationally, and to develop an agenda - for their teams, the sector and their own institutions and to make the most of such opportunities in the future.

The emphasis will be on practical applications and simulations that can be take back into your institution - do put this date in your diary: Thursday 11 February 2010 in London.
