Workshop

Universities today face five key challenges: stagnant or declining enrolment; outdated strategies; non-data-driven decisions; shifts in target audience and market positioning; and internal resistance to change. How can institutions overcome them? The answer lies in adopting an entrepreneurial mindset and learning from the best practices in intrapreneurship. By empowering staff and transforming ways of working towards an agile and intrapreneurial culture to develop radical innovations in-house, universities can achieve sustainable growth and quick wins. This workshop focuses on staff skill development and reimagining the student journey, with current students and alumni as key components in re-enrolment strategies and student (re-)engagement.
