The Three Most Important Things Research Has Discovered in the Last Few Years about Successful Organizations Gallup, originally a public opinion polling company from the 1930s, has been gathering data on the U.S. and global workplace for 50 years. Their combination of reputation for independence and quality, as well as their unrivaled database of workplace data, has allowed them to mine significant conclusions about what matters in organizations. Three of the most salient discoveries of the last several years, right up through 2021, relate to the criticality of 1) employee engagement, 2) organizational purpose, and 3) coaching as the single most productive activity a manager can do. In fact, there are likely not three more powerful causative variables for success than these three. https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/original-research-findings-emerging-value-proposition-erodes-enrollment-demand monthly 0.5 2021-11-15 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/risking-the-future-because-youre-too-busy-now monthly 0.5 2021-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/2fcacb03-dc94-43c9-9d5d-1ca066709ac8/obsolete2.png TC Blog - Risking the Future Because You’re Too Busy Now - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/ff6bb9c9-4614-443b-bf85-4de220718321/Time+Clock.png TC Blog - Risking the Future Because You’re Too Busy Now - A Call to Action When thinking about transformative opportunities for the future, if you’ve heard yourself or your leadership say things like, “We’re just too busy,” “There is too much on our plate,” “We don’t have the resources,” “We’re too tired from the pandemic,” “We need to fix other things first,” or other versions on a similar theme, BEWARE: you are rehearsing your excuses for when it’s too late. Just change each of the statements above to the past tense and you’ve moved from today’s lost opportunity and leadership failure to tomorrow’s regret. What I’ve also observed—and this is equally critical—is that although few higher education institutions are both willing and able to engage in the kind of reinvention that will greatly increase the likelihood of surviving and thriving now and into the next normal, for those that are at least willing, there is a path forward. There are ways to “borrow” bandwidth, resources, expertise, etc. for assessing the current state, identifying the highest ROI initiatives, and executing on those plans. The Transformation Collaborative™ was designed from the ground up to be an embedded partner, with access to many individual and organizational affiliates, who, unlike typical consultancies, share accountability for execution and results. At least talk to us. Even if you’re busy. There is no obligation and you may be just in time to save your future. https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/digital-learning-deficiencies-march-2020-19-months monthly 0.5 2021-11-01 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/more-fall-2021-enrollment-data-persistent-weakness-blamed-on-pandemic-and- monthly 0.5 2021-10-25 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/uncertainty-drives-stimulus-spending-decisions-at-colleges monthly 0.5 2021-10-19 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/game-changing-leadership-in-a-time-of-profound-change-webinar monthly 0.5 2021-10-27 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/real-world-leadership-and-transformational-change-listen-to-the-podcast monthly 0.5 2021-10-13 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/transformative-vs-strategic-reflections-on-distinction monthly 0.5 2021-10-05 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/new-impetus-to-transformation-confronts-old-barriers monthly 0.5 2021-09-27 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/transformation-is-the-required-path-forward-for-most-colleges-and-universities monthly 0.5 2021-09-26 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/expert-panel-to-discuss-the-future-of-career-education monthly 0.5 2021-09-20 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/a-different-enterprise-driven-by-different-revenue-streams-aligned-with-relevant-resources-XHutC monthly 0.5 2021-09-20 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/declining-enrollment-trends-affirmed-by-nces-debated-by-policy-community monthly 0.5 2021-09-16 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/p46c2vc9hhg4fx77wabbjio6vs4581 monthly 0.5 2021-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1631551755593-B562HYY8EQUXNVAUYCCK/AIM+Norkfolk.png TC Blog - Get Out of Your Lane - This week, I witnessed a series of accomplishments at my schools that seemed to be oblivious to lanes. The first was at Aviation Institute of Maintenance in Norfolk, VA, where our Chancellor, Kenneth Cooper Alexander, and I had the opportunity to meet with Captain Michael Witherspoon, Commander of the Joint Expeditionary Base at Little Creek in Norfolk, and Captain Matthew Frauenzimmer, Commanding Officer of Naval Support Activity of Hampton Roads. Dr. Alexander and I were proud to show these Naval leaders our school and discuss how AIM can be a resource for young people exiting the military and entering the civilian workforce. As the four of us enjoyed a tour of the campus from Brad Groom, our Director of Education, it became somewhat difficult to figure out what this place was. I was the dude in a suit, so was this a private school? Our Chancellor, who is also the Mayor of Norfolk, was there, so was this a city-sponsored college? Two Commanding Officers and Navy Captains were there who ran the largest Naval bases on the east coast, so is this a military institution? We were being guided by a guy with 40+ years of professional work as an aircraft mechanic and an Air Force veteran, so is this a training site for industry? What is this place?! Left to right, Dr. Kenneth Cooper Alexander, Mayor of Norfolk and Chancellor of Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM); Captain Matthew Frauenzimmer, Commanding Officer of Naval Support Activity; Dr. Joel A. English, Executive Vice President of AIM, Centura College, and Tidewater Tech; Ashley Oden, Executive Director of AIM Norfolk; Captain Michael Witherspoon, Commander of the Joint Expeditionary Base at Little Creek; and Brad Groom, Director of Education at AIM. https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/understanding-how-executive-search-is-failing-higher-education monthly 0.5 2021-09-14 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/press-release-salient-trends-in-higher-ed-more-retail-shorter-programs-less-public-funding monthly 0.5 2021-09-14 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/cspen-keynote-address-august-2021 monthly 0.5 2021-09-14 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/transformation-is-required-for-most-colleges-and-universities monthly 0.5 2021-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1628721691543-IQVAW3LISM3PZ4S2X46L/Structural+Impediments.png TC Blog - Transformation Is Required for Most Colleges and Universities - Of potential greater importance, however, is that traditional colleges and universities are built on a model designed to perpetuate the status quo. That same model represents severe structural impediments to addressing both internal and external threats, and thus has to be completely restructured in order to meet the depth and breadth of the current and future challenges putting so many colleges at risk. In short, a majority of colleges and universities must re-evaluate even the most basic and long-standing elements of what they do and how they do it, such as delivering content over academic terms, credit-bearing courses, grades, degrees, faculty control of curriculum, tuition as the primary revenue source, credit transfer and prior learning policies, accreditation as an imprimatur of “quality,” the “one and done” relationship with graduates, and a host of other examples. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1628722084021-GHAQ5XP4IT1XSXFWWT7Y/Trans+Change+Definition.png TC Blog - Transformation Is Required for Most Colleges and Universities Institutions that have the capacity and the courage to engage in transformational change will dramatically increase their likelihood of surviving and thriving going forward. Frankly, those colleges in the 85% or so of at-risk institutions that aren’t willing or able to reinvent themselves are likely to end up on a spectrum from marginally relevant to zombie institutions to merged or closed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1628722657755-E8N2YGS8GW1GZAZTBI1G/Requirements+for+Trans+Change.png TC Blog - Transformation Is Required for Most Colleges and Universities - Why Transformational Change is so Rare. Transformational change usually happens in response to crisis or profound fluctuations in the operating environment that render existing assumptions and operational models ineffective, irrelevant or obsolete. However, because of how difficult transformation is, it is a relatively rare occurrence, even when an entity’s survival is at stake! First of all, very few executive leaders or even leadership teams have the bandwidth or ability to run the daily operation, manage through disruption, and build for the future all at the same time, let alone build for a transformed future. It just demands more than most leaders have ever done. On the other hand, there are many recent examples of leaders who have managed to implement very effective, short-term responses to crisis, while keeping some form of the legacy business operating. Unfortunately, many of those solutions, as effective as they are, have a very short shelf-life and are primarily transactions to solve an immediate problem. They are rarely transformative in nature. https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/collaborative-launches-initiative-to-support-transformation-of-colleges-schools monthly 0.5 2021-09-14 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/category/Press+Release monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Finanacial+Security monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Change+Management monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Annual+Report monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/College+Completion monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Transformation monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Higher+Education monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Transfer+Students monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Managing+Fear monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Conferences monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Post+Covid+World+in+Higher+Education monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Declining+Enrollment monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Sustainable+Growth monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Student+Wellbeing monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Best+New+Practices monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Ed+Tech monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Workforce+Solutions monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Innovation monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Mental+Wellbeing monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Alternative+Funding monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Higher+Ed+Trends monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/New+Education+Models monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Employee+Engagement monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/tc-blog/tag/Excellence+in+Operations monthly 0.5 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/events-2-1 daily 0.75 2024-07-16 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/home daily 1.0 2025-07-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1626639621357-GQELMP6TZDKE8G0IBQ7E/World-01.png Trusted HigherEd Advisors - Making the World a Better Place We start from: Make the world a better place and build from there. A foundational element of the TC’s purpose is to ensure that clients, affiliates, partners, and society at large benefit from their association with the Transformation Collaborative and that the world is better off as a result of our efforts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1626181273515-CU5RVOM3BK4AYQ3K4546/TC-WEB-Illustrations.gif Trusted HigherEd Advisors - What We Do The Transformation Collaborative’s practice is based on driving transformation and reinvention with a holistic, “embedded,” and long-term partnership. We think transformationally rather than transactionally, approaching foundational change with a comprehensive, integrated view of the institution, supporting sustainable transformation with compelling strategy, a life-changing educational model, aligned culture, capacity building, value proposition & market differentiation, a robust business model, and best practice operations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1627147373747-4A012PIPNVJOED8AOQ2K/TC-WEB-Illustrations.gif Trusted HigherEd Advisors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/transformation-plan daily 0.75 2021-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1628443403340-MUY061T6AOQ2YJMSLYF3/PostSecondaryEcosystem3.png Higher Education Planning - The Opportunity Although the higher education market is shrinking, the post-secondary market is growing. In fact, four of the six main components of the post-secondary ecosystem are expanding and the fifth, government, will likely begin to grow again post-pandemic, particularly via workforce development and professional development for public employees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1628335593260-FZ1BYU9B1ABUUYA7MIJ9/TC+WEB+IMAGES+%284%29.png Higher Education Planning - The Process Our engagement begins with a deep dive assessment of the current state across multiple areas relevant to transformational change, followed by ROI-based goal articulation and prioritization of focus areas for reinvention, planning for change, execution, and ongoing assessment. For leaders who are committed to the process, the TC can support any change initiative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1628443559040-Q5BIT5YDT1WGEANIG1HP/Change+Sequence.png Higher Education Planning - Requirements for Change Active Change Management Understanding the Organization’s Readiness (psychology and culture) A Solid Rationale/Purpose Supporting Attitudes/Beliefs Incentives to Change/Disincentives Not to Change Planning Communication Supporting Processes/Procedures/Systems Correctly Framing the Disruption (Threat vs. Opportunity) Strong Leadership (with humility and empathy) This is a daunting list and demonstrates why many institutions struggle to implement transformative change without external help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1626867165248-Y5P6GOASNH7K7VBWG565/TC-WEB-Illustrations.gif Higher Education Planning - Developing an Effective Business Model Through our process, together we will uncover and develop an effective, diverse revenue stream business model based on TC’s assessment and recommendations + input from your key stakeholders.

That same model represents severe structural impediments to addressing both internal and external threats, and thus must be completely restructured in order to meet the depth and breadth of the current, existential challenges faced by most colleges and universities. In most schools, the required student value proposition is not achievable with the current operational model Defining Transformation Transformation is a radical departure from the status quo in an organization, leading to foundational changes in the nature of the entity. This can be cultural, structural, management, behavioral, the business model and market, product strategy and even the organization’s mission and purpose. Many institutions are neither willing nor capable of reinventing themselves, but the Transformation Collaborative™ can support any college or university that is at least willing to think transformatively to get from where they are to a relevant, sustainable, exciting future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1626695634231-OO8BB3045NNXC4OEQDRL/TC+WEB+IMAGES+%281%29.png Higher Education Insights What We Are Thinking Through our own operational experience, extensive research, and our work with colleges and universities, we have identified the risk factors that are most prevalent in institutions of higher education, and, importantly, what approaches are working in colleges that are thriving! The reality is that higher education as we know it is has a very limited future, but there is a clear path forward for those institutions that are up to the challenge. At the Transformation Collaborative™ we partner with client institutions to identify specifically what foundational challenges make the most sense as areas of focus relative to their specific risks & opportunities, mission, market, culture and core competencies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1629043722433-X6N1X52E58XRNMWGJDI6/Areas+of+Core+Focus.png Higher Education Insights Tweaking the Status Quo Won’t Work The reality is that for most colleges and universities in the U.S., the incrementalism of the past, and even the short-term crisis management changes of the pandemic, will not be nearly sufficient to maintain relevance and sustainability over time in the market as it exists now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1626784512021-BDEIF1GMM9JZGE1NFXKV/TC-WEB-Illustrations.gif Higher Education Insights What’s Working in Successful Schools? Compelling Strategy Aligned Organizational Culture and Values Systems to Reach Students Where They Are Persuasive Customer Value Proposition Clear Market Differentiation Diverse and High Margin Revenue Streams We have comprehensive models for assessing the relative risk faced by any institution as well as the unique areas of focus for transformative change for each school. While the five items noted above tend to be common across institutions that are thriving, a comprehensive plan would likely include dozens of prioritized areas of opportunity for a given institution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1626784417831-OS3TR1OS04R5LYE3ATMW/TC-WEB-Illustrations.gif Higher Education Insights Propagating Public Policy that Encourages Transformative Change Public Policy & Resources That Propel Transformation When the primary source of funding for education enterprises is public, innovation in the institution can be accelerated or inhibited by the policy strings attached. Public funding is accepted as a conditional proposition, yet the terms of endearment may have greater cost than the value of the resources received. Expecting public funding sources to be the primary initiators or implementers of transformation is a dubious proposition; reliance on public policy to drive organizational transformation is an error. https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/prove-compliance daily 0.75 2021-07-24 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/defining-transformation daily 0.75 2021-08-07 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/contact-transformation-collaborative daily 0.75 2021-08-07 https://www.transformationcollaborative.net/what-we-really-care-about daily 0.75 2021-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e483999682776c1b8773ce/1628338283057-2TSZUKVCMOT183YDP8G1/TC+WEB+IMAGES+%286%29.png What We Really Care About -
