Wayfinding leadership
Based on the art of traditional Polynesian navigation, wayfinding leadership shows how wayfinding can transform leaders and organisations by using new practices such as mindfulness and awareness of their environment. Central to the wayfinding approach is seeing what is really going on by reading the signs, discerning the detail and seeing the whole. This approach enables leaders to be more responsive to subtle shifts and nuances.

Wayfinding leaders are committed to building people who are fit for change, where learning becomes a way of life, and that the learning generated from the collective is more powerful than that of the individual. The wayfinder leader has a deep understanding of themselves, their crew, their waka and the environment. They look to develop everyone’s potential and have an abiding belief that ‘we are in the waka together.’

Repositioning Libraries as Dynamic Knowledge Platforms: A Strategic Imperative
Libraries often face challenges in asserting their strategic value within universities. Questions regarding the development of a compelling value proposition, demonstrating their essential role, and expanding their relevance beyond traditional disciplines frequently arise. Libraries can become victims of their own success and humility, with their contributions often taken for granted or overlooked.

In an era where digital transformation and top-level strategic initiatives are reshaping the future of higher education, libraries must evolve their approach. This keynote will explore how libraries can reposition themselves, not merely as repositories of information, but as dynamic knowledge platforms that are integral to both academic and societal missions. It will offer insights into how we can strategically recalibrate our ambition, culture, reputation, and digital positioning to serve our communities with greater impact and resilience, while demonstrating our indispensable value in an increasingly knowledge-driven, digital academic environment.

The discussion will be supported by practical examples from the University of Leeds, providing thoughtful insights and a potential blueprint for how this recalibration can be applied within your own institution.

Repositioning Libraries as Dynamic Knowledge Platforms: A Strategic Imperative
Libraries often face challenges in asserting their strategic value within universities. Questions regarding the development of a compelling value proposition, demonstrating their essential role, and expanding their relevance beyond traditional disciplines frequently arise. Libraries can become victims of their own success and humility, with their contributions often taken for granted or overlooked.

In an era where digital transformation and top-level strategic initiatives are reshaping the future of higher education, libraries must evolve their approach. This keynote will explore how libraries can reposition themselves, not merely as repositories of information, but as dynamic knowledge platforms that are integral to both academic and societal missions. It will offer insights into how we can strategically recalibrate our ambition, culture, reputation, and digital positioning to serve our communities with greater impact and resilience, while demonstrating our indispensable value in an increasingly knowledge-driven, digital academic environment.

The discussion will be supported by practical examples from the University of Leeds, providing thoughtful insights and a potential blueprint for how this recalibration can be applied within your own institution.
