I am delighted that five leaders and change agents fromthis network, representing globally leading universitiesfrom the US, the Netherlands and the UK, are able toshare their personal accounts of implementing strategicchange.
The seminar will involve a practical focus on thedevelopment and implementation of strategy and relatedorganisational change. It will provide the details of whatwas done, why it was done and what ultimately happenedtogether with the reflections of those involved in leadingthese changes.
This seminar is important for anyone involved in thedevelopment and implementation of strategy within aglobal higher education context and our aim is to simulatea vibrant dialogue from which we can all learn.
