Title: Top 10 Culture Changes Higher Education Institutions Could Consider from For Profit Companies
Host
Dan Feely, TSI (Consulting Managing Partner ) – NCCI Sponsor
About the Program
In addition to our work with numerous Higher education institutions, TSI has spent over 20 years working with some of the fastest growing For Profit companies as they have needed to address challenges impeding their growth and financial stability. Surprisingly, some of their challenges – needing to reduce costs, improve the efficiency of administrative operations, leverage technology to enable key strategic development – are similar to our Higher Education clients.
It would be reckless to attempt to “copy and paste” a for-profit’s culture into that of an institution of higher education. But there are some important differences in how a For Profit works that should be explored and discussed as higher education grapples with these high stakes challenges today. TSI will cover the Top 10 ideas that are worthy of your consideration.
What You Will Learn
- How does a For Profit typically react when their markets begin to shrink?
- What have our For Profit clients done during centralization, decentralization to centralization shifts?
