This book provides a practical guide to mastering The Knowledge
Entrepreneur Toolkit and to establishing High Diversity Groups in
universities. Both are key to universities boosting their capacity
for innovation and their impact both internally and on major world
issues. This is not a traditional academic book. Rather, it
represents a practical and pragmatic guide for academics,
professional staff and university leaders to develop the skills and
cultures needed to work intelligently and creatively with high
levels of diversity. High levels of diversity, intentionally
assembled, is the key to high performing leadership groups and
research groups within universities. The author challenges
academics and professionals within universities to pay as much
attention to the development of their intra- and inter-personal
skills and knowledge as they do to academic and professional skills
and knowledge. He suggests that development of these skills has
often been neglected, resulting in the inability of universities to
realise the full potential of diversity and to create new knowledge
and innovations that add value. Long standing university cultures
and practices are challenged by this book. Yet universities are
being required to adapt rapidly to technological and social changes
as well as societal expectations. The Knowledge Entrepreneur and
High Diversity Groups are two very timely frameworks to enable
universities in meeting these challenges.
