#159 - How to develop the team who will deliver change

What's in this episode? Hello everyone! In this episode, we're travelling back to (the) Future Edtech conference where a panel of Higher Education leaders discuss how to develop the team that delivers change in the context of institutional capability and leadership development for the "21st Century University". You will hear about how saying no to change is embracing the status quo, academic and professional services collaboration as central towards bringing about change, and why downloading board papers digitally shouldn't be beyond the University SLT. We also think about value and the tussle between liberal education and University as a bridge to work. Stay in touch and have a great week!
