Professional Futures: Innovation and collaboration in the Professional realms
10.15 —11.10
Speakers:
Global technology innovation has a profound impact on how we work, live and play
The information revolution offers a host of benefits, but technology does not mean health, wealth and happiness for all. These are turbulent and challenging times, with shrinking budgets, rising unemployment and increasing uncertainty
Successful institutions will be those with the capacity for flexibility and open-mindedness and resist the temptation to raise the ramparts against new ways of doing things. In this rapidly changing environment, how can institutions embrace change and re-evaluate their approaches to education, research and knowledge?
Questioning the nature of knowledge itself, these four experienced panelists will base their energetic debate around three simple questions:
What do we know? What can we hope for? What can we do?
They will explore the "indicators" that purport to signpost the pathway to successful city economies and how universities can work with other sectors to innovate more successfully.
