As higher education leaders look for solutions to remedy current woes besetting the sector, they scour the traditional paradigm for clues. So far, uneven progress has been made.  This could be attributed to the fact that leaders are searching for solutions to problems inside the same system that caused them. Some commentators, notably Gordon Gee, have suggested that answers might be better sought outside the box if higher ed is remain relevant and viable.  In this episode I’ll suggest that working from the inside and outside simultaneously and congruently is possible. I’ll look at what can be learned from external paradigms and applied to a new “supply chain” approach to higher education.
