Dan McFadyen, Managing Director at Edalex speaks with Ryan O'Hare, CEO and Founder of Keypath Education (Australia and Asia-Pacific) where they discuss how to get ahead in Higher Education by challenging assumptions, focusing on digital strategies, embracing skills-based learning, catering to lifelong learners (the new majority) and being learner-centric.
Their topics of discussion include:

• 1:37 - Keypath Education’s journey so far and the drivers of their rapid growth - internal (e.g. market knowledge, partnerships) and external (e.g. rise of technology, COVID)
• 6:00 - What higher education is already doing well and why digital strategy, systems interoperability, integrated data and lifelong learning should be the focus in 2023
• 16:37 - Learners have already shifted from traditional qualifications to skills-based learning - and the majority are lifelong learners / earners, not young adults
• 26:21 - To remain relevant, higher education needs to challenge long-held assumptions around who learners are, cohort segments, learning preferences, and industry alignment
• 30:07 - A top-down people-centric culture - with an intentional focus on diversity, equity and inclusion - underpins Keypath Education’s success
• 36:42- Why you should stop doing pilots and start committing instead - going all in can mean the difference between success and failure
• 39:28 - Higher education changes in the foreseeable future - A learner-centric vision
