In the years since the Great Recession, colleges and presidents have found themselves judged and even ranked on their ability to innovate. But the concept of innovating can be tricky to define, let alone put into action. Lasting change doesn’t come simply from adopting new technology, applying the latest jargon, or setting lofty goals. And in today's fraught political climate, many institutions face skepticism and backlash in their journey forward.
The Chronicle's latest report, "The Innovation Imperative," is an all-in-one resource for campus leaders looking to implement meaningful change. Written by two senior Chronicle writers, Goldie Blumenstyk and Lee Gardner, this report traces the origins of innovation in academe, identifies common barriers to change, and features examples of educators and administrators pushing their institutions in new directions.
