TITLE = 10 ways to rethink innovation in higher ed

Higher ed talks a lot about innovation — but too often, that conversation starts and ends with technology. True innovation goes beyond new tools and requires rethinking business models, student experiences and institutional strategy at every level.

In this fast-paced, high-impact session, we'll break down the 10 Types of Innovation — a framework used by the world's most disruptive companies — and apply it to higher education. You'll walk away with a new mental model for how to think about innovation in your work, your institution, and the industry at large.

What you'll learn:

  • The 10 Types of Innovation framework — and why higher ed needs to embrace all of them, not just product and process improvements.
  • How leading institutions are applying these principles to rethink student recruitment, engagement and operations.
  • Why AI plays a role — but isn't the whole story when it comes to real transformation.
  • How to shift your mindset from incremental improvements to breakthrough innovation.

Innovation isn't just about what you do, it's about how you think. This session will help you think bigger, move faster and drive more impactful change at your institution.
