Me
• Almost 30 years as a university manager in CAEs, TAFE and universities.
• Started Thinking Futures in 2007.• Long involvement in ATEM, and building levels
of professionalism in university management.• Published on the relationship between
academics and administrators– perceived lack of respect, parity of esteem, clash
of worldviews/values?– returned to finish my PhD this year

Thinking…•What are the drivers of
change that will shape the future university?
•What will the future university look like?
•What management models will be appropriate?
•Will future universities need to be managed at all?
• If yes, who will manage the future university?

Managers and Strategy
• Disruptive forces of change facing universities also means significant changes in the work roles and ways of working for both academics and managers.
• Roles of managers usually relegated to organisational effectiveness sections in plans.
• Reactionary approach now - need a proactive approach to be ready for the future.

Thinking about the future• Future contains
elements of past, present and unknown.
• Thinking about the future based only on past and present constrains and restricts understanding possibility (change and opportunity).
• If we only ever explore what we know we know, we will always be surprised by what happens.

Today• Disruptive forces of change.
• Exploring new models of university management.
• Requires you to tap into your imagination and creativity – there are no future facts.

Disruptive Change
• Broad, long term drivers of change– Capitalism: from growth to sustainable
economics? From profit to social?– Technology: enabling participation and access– Knowledge: creation and sharing– Open: beyond the ivory tower– Societal expectations: around education and
universities
• What else?

Discuss…
• Starting premise – that the way we manage universities today is no longer useful.
![Page 10: 2012 TEMC University Management](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54147a648d7f72536c8b45eb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Discuss
• That university managers manage academic work…
• And therefore, a deep understanding of academic work and values is needed to be an effective university manager.

Imagine…• Form small groups with
people around you.• Think about these disruptive
forces in your context – and how they might evolve over the next 10 years – and share your thoughts with the group.– Suspend disbelief!!
• How might managers have to change the way they work to manage new forms of academic work?
• Think about it in two ways – what culture would underpin management (invisible) and what systems and processes would be in place (visible) in 2022.
SHAKE UP YOUR THINKING!!

Discuss…
• When it comes to university strategy, how would you rewrite those sections in the strategic plan about organisational effectiveness and the value of staff?
