Enterprise in Higher Education: Work in Progress Looking Back Over the First Three Years

Abstract

A personal view of the progress of the Enterprise in Higher Education Initiative in its first three years and an outlook into the future is presented. It is argued that the Initiative has achieved a great deal with very limited means, but that much of this is due to the work of enthusiasts, both among academics and employers, of whom there is a strictly limited supply. Whether the Initiative can succeed in the long run will depend on the enthusiasts, together with top management, achieving sufficient institutional change to make the work acceptable also to other people.
