Trans-National Education
Bringing elite education for everyone. ChangeSchool provides UK university Master's programmes through our strategic academic partnerships from Sub-Saharan Africa to Central Asia.
The 'Entrepreneurial University'
Entrepreneurial universities generate employment and employability. Using systems thinking, intuition entrepreneurship skills, and transdisciplinary approaches we are working with higher education institutions in from Georgia to Malaysia, to help academics commercialise their innovation and create high tech start-ups for students and faculty alike
Commercialisation:
Innovation to entrepreneurship
Most innovations fail to find a market. We help creative entrepreneurs build a customer-centric mindset, market testing expertise, and expansive ecosystem networks to succeed and realise their innovations’ true potential
Leadership development of
university and college executive teams
To keep up with the changing employability and skills landscape, countries regularly transform their HE and FE policies and curricula. ChangeSchool is helping FE institutions in the UK develop leadership capacity and scale to embrace this innovation and deliver system-wide changes effectively.
Global University rankings and accreditation
University rankings are a powerful indicator of student employability and global mobility, attracting the best students and producing knowledge and IP. ChangeSchool is helping higher education institutions in the Asia Pacific develop systemic approaches to improve their global ranking.
Faculty development: Pedagogy
Entrepreneurship drives national economies through value creation, employment and impact in societies. ChangeSchool has delivered nationally sponsored certified programmes in entrepreneurship education to teach faculty in the Middle East modern pedagogical techniques.
Empowering Entrepreneurship Globally
ChangeSchool orchestrated the largest multi-country international AGI partnerships across the African continent and Central Asia. 24 British universities partnered up with 24 national universities in Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa to develop local programmes, create employment through systemic changes and entrepreneurship because we believe in elite education for everyone.
How Transforming University Systems Could Create Jobs
In his TEDx talk, Neil explores how transforming university systems can have a direct impact on job creation and economic growth. He argues that by shifting the focus beyond traditional education, universities can become powerful engines for innovation and societal change. This insightful presentation offers a fresh perspective on how academic institutions can drive real-world progress.

I delivered a webinar on frugal innovation in large and small firms in developed and emerging economies for ChangeSchool’s British Council programme on March 28, 2018.
To prepare for the webinar I worked with their team over a couple of days prior to the webinar itself. I have developed and delivered similar webinars in the past in my role as professor of marketing at Cambridge Judge Business School. So I went into the process with some preconceived ideas of what to do, quite confident that my approach was fine.
Neil and Viren quickly disabused me of these notions! In a short space of time, I realised that my old approach needed to be brought into the 21st century and made fit for purpose for the online medium.
Overall, I enjoyed the whole process and learned a great deal in the process.
