About this event

The HE sector is a source of immense competitive advantage to the UK economy and is a formidable force for social development. However, the sector is currently facing a series of fundamental challenges that threaten to destroy its position as a global leader in research, innovation, and higher education.

At a local level, many universities are facing tremendous difficulties in identifying their unique purpose – and the resources needed – to continue providing relevant qualifications that meet the requirements of local and regional markets. Some former and current higher education leaders believe that as many as 20% of UK universities may not survive in this new environment.

The inability of many universities to face up to these challenges and the new operating environment in which they exist is fundamentally linked to ineffective governance.

In this thought-provoking webinar, hosted by the IOD Centre for Corporate Governance in partnership with Henley Business School, our expert panel will offer their opinions on the governance reforms needed to enable British Universities to take a global leadership role.

Panellists

Sir Michael Barber, Founder and Chair of Delivery Associates and former Chair of the Office for Students

Gerry Brown, Chair of NovaQuest Capital Management and the IOD Centre’s Stakeholder Governance Working Group

Sir Steve Smith, UK International Education Champion and former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Exeter

Moderator
