Introduction
Change is endemic in the education sector. The pressures for change come from all sides: globalisation, changes
to the funding and regulatory regime, doing more with less, improving the quality of student learning and the
learning experience, and the pace of change is ever increasing. Living with change and managing change is an
essential skill for all.
Change is also difficult. There are many different types of change and different approaches to managing change. It
is a topic subject to more than its fair share of management fads, quick fixes and guaranteed win approaches.
Finding an approach that suits you and your situation goes to the heart of being an effective and professional
manager in the education sector. We hope that this resource will help you in this challenge.
