Before you start your weekend, make sure you have added this important conversation about academic innovation leadership to your calendar for next Tuesday, June 25th!

Obstacles are key to revealing opportunities and catalyzing growth. That’s why the question, “What are the biggest obstacles to success in your work?” is such a powerful one. In the Leading Academic Change National Survey 2.0 results, the top answers identified a lack of faculty bandwidth, limited time, and university bureaucracy as the most common obstacles to success. Other responses included limited resources and a lack of faculty or leadership buy-in. Knowing these struggles will be instrumental in helping academic innovation units develop targeted strategies for improvement. By addressing challenges, institutions can streamline processes, allocate resources more effectively, and foster a more supportive environment for academic innovation.

The planet is suffering. Economies are volatile. Businesses are in flux. Leaders are pressured. Employees are fatigued. Families are stretched. The next generations are wary of what they will inherit. Future-oriented capabilities are urgently needed to address the global, national, and organisational challenges we face to create a more sustainable, ethical, and just world. A ⭐ stellar team ⭐ from across different disciplines at UTS TD School, UTS Business School, and UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures have investigated the link between developing capabilities such as systems thinking, innovation, and knowledge integration and our graduates’ ability to achieve the positive impact they (and we) are seeking. We invite you to 💡 TD Convos 💡 where you can engage in dialogue about the potential opportunities, as well as the constraints and contradictions, in conceptualising and applying future-oriented capabilities across a range of real-world contexts. Speakers: Giedre Kligyte, Jacqueline Melvold PhD, Jochen Schweitzer, Susie Pratt, Lindy Jones, Annabelle Lewis, Rosemary Sainty PhD, Chris Riedy University of Technology Sydney Register: https://lnkd.in/g3gjBQpP #TDConvos

🎥 After working with 50+ campuses over 20 years, I've found that barriers to change and innovation are simpler than we think. 🚀 Often, people aren't resistant to change—they're reacting to poorly designed change processes. 🌟 Empathy and curiosity in design are key. We can make change & easier more effective. . #Innovation #ChangeManagement #HigherEd From my recent keynote at Arizona State University's #Folcfest.

Happy to receive the Texas Executive Education certificate for completing the 6-month professional course - "Post Graduate Program in Artificial Intelligence for Leaders" from "The University of Texas at Austin, McCombs School of Business", with a 4.0 GPA. Learned a lot of innovative AIML practices, state-of-the-art techniques, practical applications, real-world use cases, and completed several hands-on projects.
