As part of the Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation speaker series, "Thinking Differently: The CFI Series of Unexpected Conversations" Dr. Michael Crow presented on Tuesday, March 19, 2013. Michael M. Crow, Ph.D. is President of Arizona State University. He is guiding the transformation of ASU into one of the nation's leading public metropolitan research universities, an institution that combines the highest levels of academic excellence, inclusiveness to a broad demographic, and maximum societal impact. His story is one about creating a university system that is reflective of society and how to manage cultural resistance while enabling innovation and experimentation to grow. Evolution is only possible when we offer variation, and Dr. Crow is enabling the evolution of a university to be more responsive to what students need vs. what the perceptions and traditions of the staff feels they need through experimentation and engaging the university to become an adaptive complex system.
