Our recent report, Balancing Mission and Markets, helps higher education leaders consider how universities' educational offer can best be aligned with, and responsive to, new and emerging trends. The report is based on surveys with more than 200 university leaders and academics, and more than 1,200 university students, across Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. We also undertook in-depth interviews with university leaders and sector experts in each country. The result is one of the most comprehensive reports on contemporary higher education in the English-speaking world. Our study highlighted five key themes: great expectations and pressures from all directions; the importance of designing a distinct and sustainable portfolio of offers; the need to establish a curriculum rooted in the enduring values of the academy while also delivering on contemporary needs; the need to enhance delivery across diverse pedagogies; and the importance of investing in the core enablers of high-quality teaching and learning.

Knowledge workers comprise more than half of the Australian workforce, working in sectors including journalism, public service, higher education, and, yes, management consulting. What does the integration of Generative AI into the workplace mean for such workers? In their recent piece, Nous' chief data scientist, David Diviny, and principal Sophie O'Connor suggest that it represents a generational opportunity for professionals to redefine their roles, develop their uniquely human strengths, and find greater meaning in their work. But they also warn that many leaders still seem overly reluctant about the technology.
