CAN
Higher Education & Universities
The higher education landscape is shifting across the world, and the next generation of university leaders require a unique set of skills to negotiate this change
The traditional university model is being challenged by increasing student migration, disruptive technologies, and an increasingly competitive market-driven economy. The higher education sector has become truly global, with Academics moving internationally to enhance their careers.
Today’s university leaders must be able to create and demonstrate fiscal as well as academic value for stakeholders. An increasing focus on international collaboration and industry partnerships requires higher education leaders to be commercially savvy and politically agile.
Canada
The challenges facing Canada’s publically-funded university sector mirror those in western democracies around the world. Competition for funding and for students, the need to demonstrate value to government and other partners, and a shrinking talent pool, have created a formidable environment for administrators.
Odgers Berndtson supports higher education institutes and universities in recruiting innovative, experienced, and agile administrators from across the globe to tackle these challenges, and to capitalize on the opportunities presented by technological innovations and evolving student needs.
