Now in its third year this symposium will leverage insights from recent strategic developments and work, such as the Framework for Leading in Higher Education, to provide a forum for higher education leaders to discuss innovative approaches. The symposium will explore new ways of working, strategies for doing more with less, and methods for thriving during periods of significant change. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with forward-thinking ideas, and challenges to existing operating models and gain evidence-based insights into effective leader practices that enhance institutional resilience and success.
Who should attend?
Higher Education leaders, including deans, heads of departments, directors of professional services, and senior colleagues, are focused on strategic development and operational excellence in HE.
A digital badge award will recognise presenters at this event.
