Two weeks have flown by since the UCISA Leadership Conference in Edinburgh, and the energy from the event is still palpable. I had the privilege of not only attending but also representing Hays alongside Amanda Whicher as a speaker in one of the key sessions of the day. The array of speakers across the day was fantastic - each bringing a unique perspective, enriching our understanding and fuelling our imaginations. A personal highlight of the day? It has to be DreamWorks Animation’s session on ‘The Art of the Possible’. The discussion on data’s role in storytelling was highly thought-provoking, and with an added bonus of a sneak peek of the new Kung Fu Panda! The conference was absolutely buzzing with conversations around scaling digital transformation across Higher Education and it’s clear we’re all on the same page: to shape the future, we must embrace new strategies in hiring and nurturing talent. The shared challenges we face in attracting talent are not just hurdles but opportunities to come together, share our experiences, and forge new paths. The launch of the UCISA Academy is a bold step in that direction, promising to harness the collective wisdom of UCISA, UHR: Universities Human Resources, and Hays to meet the challenges head-on. As I look forward to the follow-up conversations and the budding partnerships, I’m reminded of the power of community. Together, we’re not just building teams; we’re shaping the future of education. #UCISALeadershipConference #DigitalTransformation #HigherEducation #TalentManagement #UCISAAcademy #Community #FutureOfEducation

10 years ago I was a leader whose tools were no longer working. I was seeking a place where I could learn to be a better leader, but I learned SO MUCH MORE.
