Business Overview
From 2015, the University Consortium Kyoto will hold SD seminars with the aim of fostering the next generation of professional staff who will be responsible for the management of universities and junior colleges, mainly member universities.
Today, as the full-fledged arrival of a “knowledge-based society” is being pointed out, the environment surrounding higher education has changed dramatically, including the declining birthrate and aging population, and the progress of globalization, and it is becoming even more opaque. Society’s expectations for universities are growing, as evidenced by the Central Council of Education’s “Toward a Qualitative Transformation of University Education to Build a New Future” (2012), which raises expectations for human resources and academic research that will open up the next generation that is difficult to predict. In addition, the “Promotion of University Governance Reform (Summary of Deliberations)” (2014) of the Organizational Management Subcommittee of the University Subcommittee of the Central Council of Education stated that it is essential to build a governance system that can strategically manage the university under the leadership of the president. Consideration is being given to the establishment of “highly-skilled professionals” who are well-versed in various fields such as public relations, and the mandatory use of SD to constantly improve the skills of university staff.
In light of this situation, university staff are required to have the ability to accurately steer the university with an eye on the next generation, accurately analyze changes in the environment and the needs of society, and reflect them in organizational decision-making and education and research, which is the social mission.
