Organiser
Council for Higher Education in Art and Design
Institutional change has become an almost constant within higher education. What do we need to change to embrace the change agenda and promote it in what we do? How do we ensure that we connect the value of the creative arts into our institutions? How do we work with institutional strategic planning whilst retaining our own vision from a faculty or school based perspective? What can we learn about how to navigate this space and work with staff to achieve positive change?

This seminar will focus on the leadership of strategic level planning and change through the lens of our subject disciplines, and will draw on a number of relevant and diverse institutional case studies. We will also consider graduates and cultural capital: the knowledge and skills agenda and the impact on graduates.  How can we harness the cultural capital that graduates possess and ensure strategic plans are aligned to be responsive of their graduates?

The seminar will provide an opportunity for considering delegates’ current strategic and change management issues within a confidential peer group.
