In episode two of season two of KPMG’s Talking Tertiary Professor Stephen Parker AO talks with Professor Claire Macken of RMIT University.

Claire has had a career-long connection with education. After starting as a Legal Academic at Deakin University she then moved into roles such as Pro Vice Chancellor, Future Learning and Innovation at LaTrobe University and four years at Apple as their Higher Education Strategy Lead. Claire also spent time at KPMG in the Education Consultancy.

In this podcast Stephen and Claire discuss how technology has disrupted the traditional players in a number of industries and big names have disappeared while new entrants have become household names quite quickly. Claire shares her thoughts on the responsiveness of the education sector to disruption and how the changing landscape of the industry will force universities to analyse their vital and ongoing role in society.
