‍In this podcast, we catch up with Annie Fergusson, change facilitator and founder of airEDU, a platform she is designing and building to resolve challenges in the higher education marketplace. Higher ed institutions are like large enterprise organisations - they are bound by bureaucracy, systems, values and a wider ecosystem that inhibits their ability to move quickly.  As such, we touch on a lot of topics that should be of interest to any innovation and education enthusiast, such as: - Modularisation and practical education - What's broken with higher ed? - MOOcs - Philosophy - The pace of change and whether Universities can keep up - The T-shaped student - Resilience and preparing for personal disruption by teaching transferable skills, not job-centric skills - The role universities can play in enterprise innovation - The role universities will play going forward If you'd like to contact Annie ping her on linkedin @ www.linkedin.com/in/annie-fergusson-phd-043843 For all things innovation and Collective Campus head to www.collectivecamp.us ‍ GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack Hosted on Acast.

I had the pleasure of catching up with Humphrey Laubscher, NAB Labs' Fintech Innovation Manager, for our latest Future² podcast. We touched on a number of questions relevant for not just banking and financial services organisations, but other large organisations facing similar challenges and startups looking to partner and/or disrupt incumbents. For those of you who don't know, NAB Labs is the innovation arm of the National Australia Bank, and aside from recently announcing a $50m startup venture fund, NAB Labs is heavily focused on collapsing the time it takes to bring new products to market, investigating partnerships and potential investments and designing a scalable innovation system that sits at the heart of the bank. A must listen if you are looking to drive innovation in any of the above realms.
