Introducing the Higher Education Summit Keynote: Leadership Strategies for Complex Environments

Leadership in higher education can often feel like navigating a maze of complexity and inefficiency. For professionals working in higher education technology and web development, it’s common to face unique challenges daily—from dealing with institutional red tape to balancing the demands of multiple stakeholders. This year’s Higher Education Summit keynote at the New England Drupal Camp, titled "Moving from Frustration to Clarity — Tenets of Leading a Team," will provide much-needed insights into how leaders can navigate these complexities with confidence.

Keynote Speaker: Ivan Stegic, CEO of TEN7

We are thrilled to welcome Ivan Stegic, CEO of TEN7, as the keynote speaker for the Higher Education Summit. With years of experience leading a digital agency that supports higher education institutions through Drupal site development, rescue, and maintenance, Ivan is uniquely positioned to speak to the needs of this community. His talk will share the core leadership principles that have helped him transform frustration into clarity for his team, his clients, and himself.

What to Expect from the Keynote

The keynote will focus on the core tenets of effective leadership that Ivan has refined throughout his career. Attendees will gain insights into:

• Self-Control: How maintaining calm and composure in high-stress situations leads to better decision-making.

• Clarity of Purpose: How defining a clear mission can inspire your team to rally behind shared goals, even in the most challenging environments.

An Interactive Session with Q&A and Table Discussions

This is not just another lecture-style presentation. After the keynote, attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with Ivan through an interactive Q&A session. Following that, the summit will move into group table discussions, allowing participants to dive deeper into the topics covered and share their own experiences around leadership challenges in higher education.
