This blog was written by Professor Ken Sloan, Vice-Chancellor, Harper Adams University. It is the 11th in our series on leadership in partnership with the National Centre for Entrepreneurship in Education (NCEE).
Prior to becoming Vice-Chancellor at Harper Adams University, I served as a Deputy Vice-Chancellor at Monash University in Australia. The purpose of my role at Monash was to promote an even greater enterprising culture across the University and to identify and address barriers to enabling that culture to flourish, all with the aim of delivering better outcomes for the University and its constituent parts. This is exactly the same priority I lead on across my new institution. Like everyone, we are focused on delivering excellent education and research, maximising the impact of what we do, securing our future sustainability, and enhancing our contribution and relevance to local, national and international communities. Yet, there is more.
