Market leaders are those organisations that keep adding value for their customers, business for business and business for customer. In universities staff, students and prospective students demand more and better services. They are not satisfied with a modest choice of education providers or a limited range of products and services. It is no longer sufficient to be competitive, to have quality processes and achievements that stand up against the best in the world. Universities must constantly demonstrate their value to supporters and sponsors through a full range of operations in teaching, research and community service.
Universities supplement income in creative ways and seek 'investment' in their activities.
Partnerships are formed. There is value-adding between the tertiary education sector and commercial organisations. High quality, effective outcomes are a result of the efforts of staff and teams driving the change agenda through innovative ideas, commitment and implementation. The Fifteenth State Conference is your opportunity to promote your institution's connectivity, collaboration and ability to sustain partnerships. Share with higher education colleagues how you demonstrate the value of your activities and how you recognise your most valuable resource - the people who make it happen.
