Innovation, Transformation, and Change Leadership: A Compendium Based on TIAA Institute’s Symposia and Related Work
Higher education leaders are continually urged to innovate as they guide their institutions into the future. This compendium of research and best practices explains how successful institutions have translated this call to action into tangible results.
Must true innovation always be disruptive or can institutions successfully transform in a less dramatic fashion? How do you create a culture of innovation while remaining true to your institution’s mission? What’s the best way to lead change in a perpetually uncertain environment? This report answers these and related questions, cutting through the noise concerning innovation and offering clear advice for higher education leaders.
The insights presented here are gleaned from several TIAA Institute-commissioned papers; transcripts and notes from the TIAA Institute 2016 Higher Education Leadership Conference; and a review of relevant literature on higher education innovation.
