This video shares the origin story of the Sentient initiative—how it began as a practical response to the complexity of higher education and evolved into a powerful environment for institutional modelling and knowledge-informed management. It traces the key milestones that shaped Sentient’s purpose and capabilities, showing how the approach grew through real-world problem solving, refinement, and a commitment to making institutional knowledge more visible, usable, and shareable. Viewers will come away with a clear understanding of Sentient’s evolution and why Dr. Graham Glynn is uniquely qualified to lead the initiative and advise colleges and universities on thoughtful, phased implementation.
The video complements my recently published book Metrics, Mapping, and Modelling for Masterful Management in Higher Education (Emerald Press, 2025). Visit our website to see the complete list of our videos.
