Collaborative Leadership for Higher Education Business Model Vitality

Chart a course to institutional sustainability and student success

As higher education faces disruption and uncertainty, the efforts of college and university governing boards and senior leadership may not be enough to sustain long-term institutional business model vitality. Economic and competitive pressures continue to mount post-COVID-19, leaving less selective small private institutions with limited financial resources particularly vulnerable, and with little time to react to fiscal challenges.

Colleges and universities that embark on revitalizing or strengthening their business model will be better positioned for sustainability and success. This report includes examples of business model transformation from candid and constructive leadership conversations to help secure institutions’ futures. The guide also outlines business model risk mitigation steps as a series of collaborative leadership discussions.

Get ready to define expectations, clarify business goals and objectives and prioritize the steps necessary to position your institution to weather today’s economic headwinds.
