Resilient academic leadership: Collaborative cluster final report
Publication date: 04 Oct 2021
An exploration within the Principal Fellows Network
Project Overview
Facilitated by the Principal Fellows Network Scotland, this collaborative cluster project represented a variety of disciplines across most higher education institutions in Scotland. Using the Evidencing Value Framework (EVF), which was developed as part of the previous Enhancement Theme (Evidence for Enhancement), the project explored the construct of ‘resilience’ as an intangible asset, with potential value to the Scottish sector in revealing its influence on the creation of successful groups or communities that can lead and effect change in the higher education context. In responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, ‘resilience’ may be a more appropriate and timely focus than one based on ideas of ‘excellence’.
