Provost Summit 2: Anchoring Innovation in Your Institution’s Culture

Become the leader who is able to create lasting transformation.

Event Information

This exclusive event is a follow-up to our Provost Summit: Leading for Innovation and Growth, and it’s designed to help you identify ways you can cultivate a campus culture that embodies innovation and sustains change over the long haul.

Specifically, you’ll discuss how to:

Overcome institutional obstacles that hinder progress, including managing resistance to change.

Leverage short-term wins for long-term momentum.

Catalyze innovation across campus through collaborative leadership.

This event brings Provosts together for a powerful experience that blends peer connection, personal leadership development, and actionable strategies that you can bring back to your campus. Hear real-world examples of how other institutions have successfully cultivated an innovative culture, and walk away empowered to do the same on your own campus. Attend this event and you’ll leave with an expanded network of other Provosts who are equally invested in thinking outside the box.

To preserve an intimate and productive experience, this conference is capped at 30 attendees.

Who should attend?

This summit has been specifically designed for Provosts and other Chief Academic Officers who are looking to think “bigger picture” about innovation and growth on campus.

While this event is a follow-up to the Provost Summit: Leading for Innovation and Growth, it is open to all. We recommend attending both events as they complement each other—together, they are designed to walk you through a comprehensive approach to change management. If you choose to attend both events, we recommend starting with Provost Summit: Leading for Innovation and Growth and then continuing on with this event.

Enhance Your Team’s Leadership Potential

Bring your CFO to this valuable training! Bringing the Chief Financial Officer to this event is essential because innovation and growth in higher education require a close partnership between academic vision and financial strategy. By attending together, Provosts and CFOs can collaboratively explore creative approaches to resource management and strategic decision-making, ensuring that institutional goals are both visionary and financially sustainable. This joint participation will strengthen your leadership team’s ability to align academic priorities with fiscal realities, driving impactful and lasting change.
