Podcast Summary

Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Mark Lombardi, president at Maryville University, about the institution's culture of innovation.

Podcast Highlights

• Innovation in higher education involves starting with the end in mind, i.e., identifying the end point and ending date, and then allowing people to innovate with a focus on bringing the desired outcome into being.
• This approach requires changing the definition of failure so that it becomes a learning opportunity as opposed to a terrible outcome that people are penalized for.
• Creating this type of innovative culture requires letting go of 20th century processes that have become antiquated, such as consensus and seniority.
