AM26: Transforming the Higher Education Operating Model

Change is required to create sustainability in colleges and universities. While this point is well known in the chief finance officer/controller community, getting institutional buy-in to true transformational ideas from faculty, students, and other administrators can be challenging. This panel includes three universities that have embarked on a series of transformation initiatives in order to revamp and revitalize their operating models. You’ll hear how they have assessed and evolved their academic delivery models, reduced institutional costs, improved revenues, or merged with other institutions to expand their geographic footprint.  

Learning Objectives  

• Discuss key lessons learned through university transformations.  

• Identify ways in which you can better interact with campus stakeholders.  

• Determine the best strategies you can lead through transformation at your campus.
