The 2021 Summer Institute will explore the following compelling questions:

1. How does higher education and its partners plot strategy for competitive advantage in a dynamic world?
2. How do organizations engage in difficult decision making in the face of adversity and opportunity?
3. What is different about consumers (our students, partners, and other stakeholders) now after experiencing their own intense disruptions?
4. What have they experienced that translates to higher education and the choices they make about how, when, and where they learn?
5. How do our consumers fall in love with our story? How do we get the story right?

Learning Objectives:

1. Overcome the barriers (cultural, financial, processes, systems, etc.) to reimagination during volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous times (VUCA)
2. Leverage environmental scanning and collective input to shape a reimagination roadmap
3. Unleash creativity and innovation that results in competitive advantage in World 5.0 as framed by our Learning Partner Bob Allen of IDEAS Orlando
4. Benchmark to understand the outcomes of re-imagination
