 How Oxford proposes flexibility from the top

Professor Louise Richardson has spoken of her vision for Oxford’s future as she becomes Vice-Chancellor of the University. She aims to keep Oxford in the forefront of international education with ‘ever more creativity, ever more innovation, ever more flexibility’. Wow, Louise, you have distilled the essence of improvisation – and that is not always the easiest spirit to instil in an academic institution.

Most enterprises say they are in favour of creativity and innovation. Without those they know there can be no way of guiding change in the directions they may want it to take. But not so many recognise that the core skills taught by improvisers, such as flexibility and adaptability, are needed so that new ideas can be expressed, welcomed and discussed. An attitude of ‘Yes… And’ allows first thoughts enough breathing space to flourish to a point where they may be worth acting on.

So Prof Richardson may like to join the dozens of Applied Improvisers who will be showing up at Keble College, Oxford, for the AIN’s annual conference. It’s called Improvisation U, and runs from 11-14 August 2016.
