On this episode of Deans Counsel, moderators Jim Ellis and Dave Ikenberry speak with Tim Westerbeck, President of Eduvantis, a leading agency offering strategic advisor to higher education institutions around the world. Tim's work focuses on helping institutions grow amidst significant disruption, by defining strategies and new business models aligned with the future. He has served as a columnist for Businessweek and is a frequent commentator in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and other global media. Tim is also a regular presenter at global industry forums, such as the Indian Management Conclave, AACSB International, The European Foundation for Management Development, and others. Considering the current upheaval and confusion at the highest levels of academia, largely due to the abrupt change in the political climate, Tim's appearance on the podcast couldn't be better timed. His conversation with Jim and Dave offers an interesting and high-level perspective of what's happening today. Tim talks about:* the sense of "doom and gloom" hanging over the recent AACSB meetings* the many ways higher education is under attack* a stagnation in MBA programs* innovation being the way forward - The Age of Real Innovation is Upon Us* the emerging concept of Micro-credentialsLearn more about Tim Westerbeck (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-westerbeck-1748514)Comments/criticism/suggestions/feedback?
