Universidades abiertas 2.0: Liderazgo, Reinicio Estratégico y la Agenda Nacional
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
El propósito de este artículo fue basarse en la investigación empírica, la teoría del liderazgo, la práctica universitaria abierta y las tendencias globales cambiantes para brindar a los líderes de universidades abiertas un marco para el reajuste estratégico. El reajuste estratégico consiste en redefinir las prioridades de las instituciones (tomando decisiones de liderazgo) y tomando medidas para construir ventaja competitiva, calidad y servicio para el futuro. Los pilares fundamentales del reajuste estratégico se centran en 1) la digitalización, específicamente la capacidad en línea; 2) el establecimiento de nuevas prioridades estratégicas; y 3) el establecimiento de una presencia nacional que se alinee con las necesidades nacionales críticas de empleo y desarrollo de la fuerza laboral. Un tema secundario que se entrelaza a lo largo de este artículo es la necesidad de que las universidades abiertas revitalicen su compromiso con la innovación. El artículo concluye ofreciendo algunas acciones tácticas que los líderes de universidades abiertas pueden considerar para enmarcar el reajuste estratégico y establecer nuevas prioridades para el futuro. Estas incluyen: 1) modelos de universidad abierta optimizados; 2) acceso preciso; 3) desarrollo de una presencia nacional de servicios; 4) renovación de alianzas críticas; y 5) exploración de modelos alternativos de financiación.
