About the session: Changing a University Through Engagement with the Future
Universities are facing a serious – maybe existential – crisis, with questions about sustainability, and the future nature and purpose of higher education. A year ago, Cardiff University - a UK Russell Group university - decided to use a collaborative anticipation process to co-create our future. We took 7,500 staff, 33,000 students and multiple stakeholders on a futures journey, using a whole suite of tools to build understanding and support for change, and emerged with a strategy to 2035: 'Our future, together'.
This talk will share some of the futures process and the learnings from the past 12 months, particularly on the future for universities and on how to shift large institutions.
