Q&A Forum on reshaping the Higher Education and Training for a future job market as we discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and alternative ways forward for this vital sector. THE PANELHost: David Southwick MP Member for Caulfield Simon McKeon AO: Chancellor, Monash University, Australi.

When signals like Reshaping Higher Education What Now What Next emerge, organisations that engage early have the advantage of choosing their response rather than reacting to events. That gap between those who prepared and those who did not is where competitive positioning is actually made or lost.

The most important question is not whether Reshaping Higher Education What Now What Next will matter, but how quickly it will matter in your specific context. Leaders benefit most from mapping the ripple effects early — not just the direct impact but the second and third-order consequences that arrive later and hit harder. That is the practical work of foresight.
