Education Building impactful educational organisations for a dynamic world Higher education organisations are charged with developing the talent for the next generation. Institutions are evaluating and implementing new programmes and new models of instruction that are essential to address an increasingly diverse population of students. The ability to leverage technologies, including e-learning and in the classroom, is essential to success in innovating student experience and improving educational outcomes. At the same time, operational efficiency and effective governance in education have never been more important. Declining revenues caused by increasing discount rates and the need to effectively manage operating costs have put significant stress on many institutions. The educational institutions of the future must be well run and controlled, while effectively harnessing innovation to reimagine the educational experience.
