I had the humbling honour of leading the collective design & change management that made it possible. A critical failing situation in 2016 to a uni back on its feet & better, the success of equity students - we can now say it did what it was designed to do #DesignThinking @trilia
Implemented by my good mate @solfella at @victoriauninews, I got to watch this innovation unfold. Amazing work. Uni fail rate falls by 40% with block model of intensively learning 1 subject at a time

Student experience in the age of the customer https://t.co/TkAfOrmrwz << agreed, student experience is multi-faceted but not sure I need a formula SX=LX+PX+CX. Nevertheless, I'm sure those more process orientated will love it. Some code switching required. via @Michael_Milgate

".. the pursuit of excellence doesn't have to be a selfish one" Onya @garyleecious
Thank you @ashbarty for reassuring me that the pursuit of excellence doesn't have to be a selfish one. Your constant acknowledgement of your team is inspiring. 'To be humble is not to think less of oneself, but to think of oneself less.' You're a legend. To my peeps, thank YOU!
