Abstract
In the fall of 2011, two guests came to the University of Alberta to discuss the future of higher education at two separate events. One, Gwyn Morgan, invited as part of the University of Alberta’s Innovative Leaders program, brought impeccable corporate roots as founder and former CEO of EnCana as well as working as Chairman of one of the world’s leading engineering companies, Montreal based SNC-Lavalin Group Inc., and as member of the board of directors the world’s largest global bank, London based HSBC Holdings. Morgan’s talk was titled “If universities were in business, they’d be out of business’, a provocative critique of how universities work in society and a call for a more business focused approach.
