The Executive Global Leaders Network brings together Heads of institutions and executive leaders from around the world for strategic conversations on the most pressing challenges facing higher education.
Through four carefully curated two-hour online sessions, we combine provocative keynote inputs from global thought leaders with peer dialogue on critical topics like leading in political contexts, building resilient systems, AI-enabled transformation, and student cost of living.
These aren't traditional conferences—they're meaning-making experiences designed to help you translate international perspectives for your institution. It's strategic reflection and peer learning with the right people and the right provocations to spark the thinking your institution needs.

The Leadership Challenge
Higher education leaders face unprecedented pressures in an era of rapid transformation.
Financial & Regulatory Pressures
Navigate declining revenues, rising costs, increased government oversight, and complex compliance requirements while maintaining institutional mission.
Technology & Infrastructure
Adapt to AI disruption, hybrid learning models, and underutilised campus spaces while managing limited investment capacity.
Student Experience & Expectations
Meet evolving student needs, ensure accessibility, and deliver value while students increasingly view themselves as customers.
Societal & Political Context
Address campus tensions, navigate political backlash, and maintain institutional values amid rising populism and social polarisation.
Leadership Isolation
Make critical decisions with limited peer support, minimal leadership development, and increasing governance complexity.
Strategic Balance
Balance immediate operational pressures with long-term sustainability, institutional mission, and broader societal impact.
The Executive Global Leaders Network gives you access to provocative thinking from world-class thought leaders and meaningful conversations with peers who are navigating similar complex landscapes. These are curated experiences that can help you translate global perspectives into local context, helping your institution to thrive in this rapidly changing environment."Sarah Hubbard - Senior Consultant, Senior Leadership & Strategic Transformation - Advance HE
