Strategic Execution
Unique Challenges in Higher Education
Some common execution challenges for colleges and universities include:
Enrollment: Many colleges face the uncertain future of attracting and retaining students, primarily due to the struggle of maintaining relevancy and the rising costs of higher education.
Limited Resources: Many institutions operate with constrained budgets and staffing, which can limit their ability to provide comprehensive support services and programs across the institution.
Department Silos: Effective strategies require seamless coordination across multiple departments, and misalignment or communication gaps can impede the execution of retention and completion initiatives.
