The Next-Gen IT Leader - Brandon Bernier, EDUCAUSE Review

The old saying is true: What got us here won't get us there. Higher education is experiencing significant disruption, and those of us in the profession are watching as institutional models that have existed for centuries are coming into question and as colleges and universities look to adapt to an ever-changing landscape. Accountability demands from legislators, taxpayers, parents, and students have risen to new levels while costs for institutions continue to rise as well. In his EDUCAUSE Review article "The New Leadership Challenge," Michael Kubit, deputy CIO at Case Western Reserve University, highlights the collision course ahead for the IT field: the higher education landscape is changing radically at the same time that a large number of CIOs are planning to retire in the next five to ten years. http://er.educause.edu/articles/2015/10/the-next-gen-it-leader
