Lead Innovation, Creativity, and Change

The winners of the innovation race will land the next generations of consumers and provide better services to stakeholders more efficiently.

A recent McKinsey survey indicated that 70% of senior executives view innovation as one of the top three drivers of growth for their companies in the next three years. Yet most executives are generally disappointed in their ability to stimulate innovation.

There is no “one size fits all” solution to leading and driving innovation within a team, making it difficult to have a consistent approach.

In this time of continuous disruption, leaders need to solve new, undefined problems. The new leadership shift is less about having the answers and more about creating an organisation, and environment, that allows innovation to emerge.

Providing a team with the skills and tools to innovate, along with the confidence to risk implementing new ideas at scale, is not straightforward. It takes a cultural shift, a leadership commitment, and an aptitude for risk that does not come naturally to a lot of leaders.

Planning for a Sustainable Future

Organized by a group of university planners from institutions across Asia via the HEPA Association, the HEPA Forum will provide a unique platform for university senior administrators across Asia to interact, share best practices and network. The HEPA Association is a not-for-profit professional body with almost 700 individuals, established to develop an Asian network of higher education planners and administrators with common interests to share experiences and learn from one another. The Association provides platforms for interactions, peer mentoring, learning, and collaborations among higher education planners and administrators. Our goal is to contribute towards the capability and strategic development of higher education institutions across Asia.

This year’s Forum aims to explore how universities contribute to a sustainable future and in doing so, how they apply the ideas to sustainable development in their own strategic and operational planning. Notable questions raised throughout the Forum will include:

• How can universities expand their sustainable approaches?
• What lessons can we learn from good practice?
• Are there new opportunities from taking a sustainable approach?
• What does a sustainable future for universities look like?
