Japan in the world. Where are Japanese universities heading toward 2100? [Part XNUMX]
[2] Three external pressures to accelerate university selection toward 2100
I have shared the overall picture of Japanese higher education and stated that more investment-to-outcomes will be required in the future, but I would like to consider the whereabouts of Japanese higher education institutions in the longer term. ..
Of course, no one knows what's ahead, and you don't have to think about the future beyond the responsibilities of management, or more specifically, after you die.However, the reform support of more than 250 higher education institutions that I have been directly involved with is based on ultra-long-term future forecasts when formulating a mission vision, a grand design for reform, and a medium- to long-term plan. He has drawn medium- to long-term grand designs, medium-term strategies and plans.
There are two reasons for considering the future forecast in the ultra-long-term range of 100 years.
1. The PDCA cycle of university management takes at least 6 years, and university reform requires a range of 10 to 20 years.It is difficult to revise the direction of reforms, and reforms based on ultra-long-term forecasts are necessary. (Of course, the PDCA cycle at the management improvement level needs to rotate at high speed in a short period of time.)
2. Universities are educational institutions and have a mission to enrich the lives of students.The students in front of us will live the world toward the next 2100.
From the above, let us predict the environment surrounding the world of 2016 and Japanese higher education institutions as of 2100.As an overview, Chart 2100 summarizes the external pressures of university selection up to 2.
