Leading the charge: Change leadership in higher education
Key takeaways

All institutions must tackle change. This is particularly important as institutions undergo a momentous digital transformation—with increased emphasis on analytics, cloud technology, and interconnected data. Those institutions that fail to adapt will quickly lose ground.
One of the best tools to help institutions navigate change and find stability is called change leadership—not just now, but for every bump, hurdle, and hiccup in the future.
Change leadership is a proactive approach, a kind of growth-oriented mindset. It’s a way of thinking that empowers individuals and institutions to tackle changes, make the most of them, and create advantages from them.
