Conference Theme

Innovative Leadership: Examples of Excellence

The SCUP 2012 Southern Regional Conference will focus on leadership, innovation and change from the status quo, strategies for the adoption of better ideas, partnerships, institutional visions, leaders who persevere in the face of adversity, and forward-thinking leaders successfully innovating in the face of increasing financial, social and technological change.

This year’s conference will take place in Raleigh, North Carolina, one of three primary cities which anchor the Research Triangle metropolitan region, home to more than a dozen institutions of higher education.

The Research Triangle serves as the inspiration for this year’s conference. A major factor in the growth of the region has been the Research Triangle Park, as told in an online video http://vimeo.com/11199745. However, the success of the Research Triangle goes well beyond the creation of the Research Triangle Park, and provides an excellent illustration of how successful institutions today are a culmination of past visions and investments in the future. But more importantly, the story of the Research Triangle is a compelling example of innovative leadership. Business, government, and academic institutions jointly encouraged innovation and championed the need to increase human capital for the residents of the region. Investments in the future are commonly thought to be financial, but often, the real investment is the energy and diligence of those innovation leaders who make a new idea spread and stick. In times of chaos or financial instability, institutions tend to abandon innovation and revert back to something known. Innovation leadership and championship is required for new ideas to persist through turbulent times.
