Higher education and universities find themselves in a time of social, economic and political uncertainty and complexity. The challenges faced within many institutions are reflective of the complexity of the context and current climate. The parameters, foundations and fundamental approaches in higher education are constantly shifting and require leadership qualities and skills that help to navigate and transform.
This is the context for the Advance HE Leadership Survey which seeks to understand and provide evidence and insights by exploring and unpacking what works and what does not work for leadership in HE.
The Advance HE Leadership Scoping Study and Survey Report provides seminal research into our HE leadership. It has generated a unique evidence base for leadership in higher education, highlighting contextual variations across the sector. It provides insights about leading and leadership in HE based on systematically exploring the question of, ‘what works?’
The research has generated a unique evidence-base for leadership in higher education and is an opportunity for us to invest in leaders, support leadership development, and recognise good practice in a consistent and reliable way more effectively. This data can also help institutions plan more effective leadership structures and to grow talent for the future.
