Public and private providers of education and training are facing a
shift to a more demand-driven market and expectations of greater
accessibility, flexibility, quality, relevance and efficiency.
Education and training are also being transformed by new
information and communications technologies and becoming more
global, competitive and commercialized. Such a destabilized and
uncharted environment calls for transformational leadership, both
at the organizational and the operational level, to energize and
empower others to share the vision of what can be accomplished, to
change work cultures and to create systems that are responsive
andsustainable. In this thought-provoking and ground-breaking book,
Colin Latchem and Donald Hanna critically examine: * global
developments and trends in education and training* the changes,
challenges and choices confronting educators and trainers* the
development of an entrepreneurial culture* the processes of
organizational change* leadership in traditional and open &
flexible learningThe book also features interviews with eighteen
distinguished educational leaders and innovators from across the
globe. These provide unique and fascinating insights into the
experiences, principles, ideas, feelings and approaches that CEOs
and senior managers can bring to leading their organizations and
open learning enterprises. The book concludes by summarizing the
key leadership concepts and change strategies that are needed by
those who lead or manage open and flexible learning or who aspire
to change educational and training organizations and practice in
the 21st century.List of contributorsProfessor Dominique Abrioux,
