In this episode of TRANSFORMED, host Joe Gottlieb welcomes back Wayne Bovier, Co-founder and CEO of Higher Digital, for a wide-ranging conversation about the past, present, and future of transformation in higher education. As a returning guest and original voice behind the podcast’s founding, Wayne reflects with host Joe Gottlieb on how far the industry has come - and how much change still lies ahead.
Listeners will gain insight into the dual “category five hurricanes” impacting higher ed: disruptive policy shifts and the sweeping rise of AI.
Wayne and Joe explore how institutions can evolve by embracing business-minded strategies, rethinking accreditation, and adopting emerging disciplines like strategic portfolio management. Most importantly, they encourage faculty, administrators, and leaders to see AI not as a threat, but as a tool to unlock student success, operational efficiency, and lifelong learning.
Join us for an honest, forward-thinking dialogue aimed at helping higher ed both adapt and thrive.
