Now is a good time to focus on a collective response to the accelerating changes of AI and on what we have learned from the COVID-19 crisis.

Complex adaptive systems offer higher education leaders a framework for understanding dramatic systemic change as well as approaches to engaging, managing, and driving change.
Guided by the principles of complexity science and working collectively, innovation leaders can and should develop the frameworks that both speak to academic values and help all of us in higher education adapt to a changing context.
