ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS

 

Colleges and universities tend to resist change and adapt slowly to new realities. But as the competitive and financial pressures on higher education increase, “business as usual” will not be a winning strategy.  Academic institutions that can quickly adapt their structure, culture, and decision-making processes to changing circumstances will have a distinct competitive advantage. 

New presidents and governing boards frequently engage Stillwater to conduct an independent assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, and overall effectiveness of their institution. Our analysis is wide-ranging, both in the scope of the issues examined and the information collected. We evaluate the institution’s management structure, decision-making processes, and faculty and board governance procedures.

Where necessary, we also design management-training programs to ensure that professional and support staff have the skills and information they need to be productive and effective.
