State of the nation | Changing-wind-from-all-directions

Griffiths, Marc; Moyle, Sally

Abstract

This thought piece explores eight current themes that will, over the coming twelve to eighteen months, continue to shape the business of Universities across the United Kingdom. Higher Education is truly at an intersection, that has undoubtedly been shaped through significant events over the last eighteen months, but some longer-term factors that have simply become accelerated and are now front and centre.
Pandora’s box is well and truly open with combinations of tame and wicked problems and opportunities for the sector to realign itself with societal challenges and a congested regulatory environment. Our collective experiences over the last eighteen months, working alongside colleagues across other Universities and other sectors such as the NHS creates opportunity to do things differently and redefine our purpose and value within society.
