The future of work is already here, and it’s moving fast

The recent report by the McKinsey Center for Government, titled "Generative AI and the Future of Work in America," delves into the seismic shifts that artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, is bringing to the job market. This is a good read on what educators need to know, and plan for, to prepare students (and their institutions) for the rapidly evolving landscape.

Will Rogers was credited with saying ‘Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there”. As educators, we have the exciting opportunity to not only adapt but shape the future of work!

"Whatever It Is, I'm Against It" Resistance to Change in Higher Education

by Brian Rosenberg

Last week, the Chronicle of Higher Education published an article, excerpted from a book by Brian Rosenberg, a retired college president, entitled “Whatever It Is, I’m Against It.” The book served for me as both a guidepost for the future and a sort of therapy session, as it reminded me of the dire need to re-think how to manifest change in the most change-resistant industry that exists. I’ve realized that embracing change and “running toward the fire” is the only way to save the higher education industry from a perilous season as the headwinds we face become insurmountable.

The Great Upheaval: Higher Education's Past, Present, and Uncertain Future

by Arthur Levine and Scott Van Pelt

It’s not coming...it’s here. The industrial system of higher education, founded over 100 years ago is being shaped into a “knowledge economy.” Our increasingly diverse population operating in a highly technological, globalized society is creating it. The foundational structures of the Carnegie Unit, where time is the currency of learning is being replaced by outcomes assessment of knowledge, skills, and abilities independent of time. The classroom can be anywhere, the student a teacher, and the teacher a mentor. For me, this book places a call to action for higher education brain trusts to move beyond TITWWADI (That Is The Way We’ve Always Done It) and co-create the higher education system of the future.

The EDUp Experience Podcast

The EdUp Experience Podcast has been blazing a trail in the podcast space for the last few years. They have focused primarily on interviewing higher education leaders who share their ideas and insights about the evolving educational landscape. Dr. Joe Sallustio has interviewed over 700 leaders using his humor and upbeat demeanor. I thoroughly enjoy listening to The EdUp Experience Podcast because it gives me a glimpse into what other leaders are thinking and planning for the future. The content is lively and never disappoints. Enjoy!
