It's been such a pleasure to work with the Times Higher Education team on this project 🚀
In almost 30 years at Times Higher Education, I don't remember being more personally proud of any initiative (of many, many initiatives) than I am of THE Insights - our new subscription tool that turns our unique data resources into actionable strategic insights. You can take a good look at the product and its features here: https://lnkd.in/e2GN-vZf It opens up the World University Rankings - and the underpinning 17 performance metrics - in unprecedented ways, not least in providing universities' exact ranking within the public bands, revealing our subject rankings results months before publication and providing a bespoke group of peers for in-depth comparison. They key is that it moves us from data, to insights. But this post isn't to promote the product, it is to celebrate an exceptional team - and exceptional teamwork - that got this product to you today. So... A huge thank you to Gareth Owen, whose deep product experience and leadership, and whose welcome creative disruption, got this new product out in a matter of months. Thanks to Derek Bowers, for outstanding product design. Thanks to Rex Cooper, THE's CTO, Peter Fitzmaurice, Mohamad Sinjab and the THE development and product teams (thank you Olivier Renard, Dylan Irmak) collaborating with Gavin Greenwood and all at hedgehog lab, for getting this built on time and on spec. To THE's team of data and consultancy specialists, especially Sam Armenta Butt, PhD, Louise Lee and Ashley Mok, who offered so much strategic insights. And to Danae Banette, Rohan G. and colleagues for so much data validation and support. To Jamie Morris and colleagues for customer support and to Nick Davis, Dominic Garcia, Daisy S. and Aicha Daneliuc and colleagues for getting this in front of our customers. To Caroline Corcoran for rallying us all together. To Rebecca F. in the finance team for vital back-end work. I have not been able to mention everyone, but it was a remarkable team effort. Thank you all!

A great turnout last night for our session on The Great AI Productivity Lie for Leeds Digital Festival. Our panel explored where AI is genuinely improving productivity, where it can create hidden costs or simply shift the work elsewhere, and why starting with asking why throughout the process matters. A huge thank you to our Head of Engineering Rebecca A. for chairing the conversation, and to Annie Moss-Quate and Sam Watson for bringing thoughtful, practical perspectives to the panel. And thanks to everyone who joined us, shared their experiences and challenged the conversation with some brilliant questions. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AIProductivity #FutureOfWork #ProductManagement #LeedsDigi26

Today, we’re shining the spotlight on our Talent Acquisition Lead, Tom Smith Tom has been helping us find and welcome exceptional people to the team since July 2025. More from Tom… 👉 What is your favourite aspect of working at the lab? The projects and the people I get to speak to. The candidates are interesting because the work we do is interesting. I'm learning a lot here, especially with all the AI stuff we're doing. It's a privilege to talk to people from such varied backgrounds. 👉 What is your favourite hobby? Running. I got into it from a pretty low level of fitness, and because I like a challenge, I signed up for the Great North Run within about a week to give myself something to aim at. After that I did the Manchester Marathon six months later, and now I'm looking at a triathlon in 2027. Want to work with Tom?
