Thanks to Khun Chotima, Fulbright's Outreach Officer, who has helped summarize the session and I'd like to copy hers with very minor edits na ka.
1. Instead of trying to figure out what the future will be, why not consider downstream consequences and do not make decisions until you have to? Future thinking pays attention to changes with a scanning approach to see how the issue emerges over time. The point is not to be a surprise nor to cause panic with disruptions/changes.
2. Rather than collaborating among HEIs themselves, why not partner with the private sector? This might be survival strategy for HEIs to:
• reduce the mismatch of skills actually required for the job market (otherwise, the private sector will become the key player in higher education...an example was a French private company funded the set up of a coding school!)
• have a clearer picture of life and needs in the future by learning more 'who we are and what are we doing every single day?'
3. How do HEIs properly include “character qualities”, one of the three skill sets under 21st Century Skills, into their curriculum? They have already put a heavy focus on “foundation literacies” and a light touch on “competencies”, both of which could be soon better performed by robots. The underemphasized “character qualities” skill set will mark the graduates out in the job market.

IZN could be one key process for the nurturing of soft skills and for learners to be like 'duck', knowing more on the horizontal line, not just vertical.
4. How could HEIs balance ‘ranking’ with quality? Ranking is the means, not an end (quality) and should not distract HEIS from the real purposes/expected outcomes. HEIs need indicated persons in charge who know the importance of both ranking and quality and the way to properly balance them.

In the business aspect, ranking could help HEIs attract students and funding. However, students in the future might not care for ranking as much as for others benefits (e.g. signature programs).
5. How could we do more to incorporate cross-cultural experience in virtual programs? Virtual programs could not replace in-person ones. However, they are better than nothing in this period and will have more roles in the future.
6. What are we doing right now? Is it responsive to the future? HEIs could not operate in the same old ways. There might be no place/need for traditional HEIs in the future. Collaboration with the private sector is needed, similar to the proper relations between government (policy level) and HEIs.
7. Keywords
• Resilience to welcome changes and new learning
• Collaboration beyond the university community to include the private sector
• IZN as organization culture
