ABOUT CHANGE
Everyone and every organization has a unique response to change, capacity for change and timing for transitioning through change.
Expand Capacity to Pivot, Adapt and Evolve
The biggest threat to higher ed institutions is an inability to pivot through change
​Look around. All aspects of higher education organizations have been disrupted by change, which decreases capacity to achieve goals. Failed initiatives create a human toll, impact careers and reputations, interrupt progress and squander valuable, finite time, opportunities and resources.
​
People have changed, the culture has changed and expectations have changed. Systems, practices, policies and procedures have changed. Can you agree on, plan and implement new technology systems and incorporate artificial intelligence into the institutional landscape? How are your enrollment, communication and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives going? What about shared governance and budgeting? Student and employee wellness? Progress starts with addressing five common hindrances to higher ed change management.
There's no substitute for the expertise, time, preparation, and dedication needed to achieve the clarity and capacity to solve problems, seize opportunities and achieve academic, research and service goals in a manner that builds--rather than destroys--a culture of trust, community and effectiveness in the face of unrelenting change.​
Let us help you organization expand capacity to pivot, adapt and evolve! ​​​
