Education

Universities are among the oldest institutions, and for the most part, have a common mandate to provide free and equal access to higher learning. However, universities must compete to attract the brightest minds, and students must compete to gain access to the best institutions. In a world driven by knowledge, educational institutions play a critical role in the production of intellectual stimuli.

Today, colleges and universities require leadership that transforms their institutions into highly visible places of learning recognised for rich academic programs, and cutting-edge research and discovery. There exists a belief that scholastic success, economic growth and global competitiveness are closely tied to university rankings. An institution’s reputation and subsequent ranking are largely dependent on the acquisition of academic talent, whereby faculties comprised of the most qualified professors and researchers will attract quality funding, as well as the brightest minds.

In response to the huge costs involved in operating a research-based institution, educational leaders need to acquire and manage an abundance of resources, securing grants and funding from both traditional sources such as the government to innovative private sources, as well as strategic partnerships with commercial enterprises. Senior levels of management must then balance their focus on achieving academic and research superiority with the challenges of shrinking budgets, and overseeing fiscal management.
