AFIT’s Strategic Vision for the Future
Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP):
Leading the radical renewal of higher education.
Mindset:
We believe that:
- A supportive CEO Network is vital for empowering the courageous leadership needed to navigate and shape the future of higher education.
- Innovation and transformation are indispensable for maintaining relevance and responsiveness in a changing society.
- Building communities of practice and fostering shared learning experiences propel growth and transformation.
- Learning from organizations outside of higher education can challenge mindsets, broaden perspectives, and spark big ideas.
- Creating a safe space for inquiry, exploration, and experimentation is essential for nurturing innovation.
- Embracing failure and learning from our attempts is just as important as learning from our successes.
