The impact of globalisation on the provision of education and development for associations - facing the challenges and preparing for the future.

Topics

Globalisation is driving many changes and influencing the way that education is delivered. The digital transformation of schools, universities and workplaces mean that current and future generations of members expect to source their education on-line. Association students also expect ease of access to programmes with great service and support; high-quality content delivered in appealing and stimulating formats and 24/7 availability. Associations are increasingly fighting competition from other associations, academic bodies and commercial providers who are all keen to access the association market as a potential revenue stream. To compete successfully in this landscape, an association must have credibility and be seen as a trusted and authoritative source of information. Another important factor particularly for Millennials and GenZ is that an association’s programme is multi-cultural and facilitates global connections and networks.
