The scale of the opportunities and the challenges facing those working in education has never been greater.
Organisations across the sector are exploring innovative ways to commercialise their brands and intellectual property, launch collaborative ventures with partners around the world, and establish revenue streams drawing on consultancy and publishing.
Alongside these opportunities, everyone involved in education, from the largest research institution to the smallest independent school, is having to work through significant challenges. Whether it is the far-reaching implications of GDPR, complex governance and safeguarding issues, or threats to funding and income, there are many potential pitfalls along the way.
