Aprašymas

Drawing on insights from Lean practitioners, faculty, and researchers worldwide, and using the COVID-19 pandemic as a key example, this book explores the challenges and opportunities that arise in higher education during times of crisis.

Global crises-whether stemming from pandemics, political upheavals, technological shifts, or financial instability-have prompted higher education institutions to reevaluate how they deliver education. While these challenges undoubtedly create significant pressure, they also serve as a catalyst for change, compelling institutions to adapt quickly, innovate, and discover new ways to support students and maintain operations. Set against the backdrop of the recent pandemic, this book offers an in-depth exploration of the key lessons learned, and covers essential topics such as financial health and sustainability, emergency preparedness, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in both academic and administrative processes within higher education institutions. It also delves into the downstream effects of crisis-related decisions, highlighting how these choices can shape the future.

Designed for individuals working in higher education and emergency response roles who want to explore how the lessons learned from recent disruptions can shape the future of education delivery, this book will help administrators prepare for and adapt to emerging challenges in a world where the realities of tomorrow are yet to be imagined.
