UK universities face intensifying financial pressure. Many institutions have exhausted cost-containment strategies, making growth and revenue enhancement an essential pathway forward.
This 60-minute session explores how growth modelling can help leaders chart a sustainable future. Drawing on lessons from the US and other higher education markets, we examine how UK institutions can strengthen core revenues while building new engines of growth, from postgraduate enrolment to lifelong learning and corporate partnerships.
Our expert panel has worked with leading universities in the US and globally, applying growth modelling to inform strategic choices, investment decisions, and institutional alignment. Together, we’ll bring practical insights on:
- What growth modelling reveals about opportunity, cost, and capacity
- How the dual transformation framework balances immediate pressures with long-term innovation
- How institutional leaders and boards can use growth modelling to make confident investment decisions
This session is for Directors of Student Recruitment, Strategy and Planning Directors, Chief Operating Officers and Chief Finance Officers who are seeking practical, evidence-based approaches to growth in a challenging environment.
