So you’re on the right track already…great! We’ll link up with you to get you over the hump.

We all understand that introducing new ideas and departments to an academic institution is not something that can happen in a silo; how do we cultivate a leadership team to work cross-functionally and serve as our advocates?

Developing your organization’s individuals across several areas is critical to leadership success. This means individual performers not only need to be leaders in their own roles and departments, but also contribute to the overarching leadership team and within the context of the organization as a whole. Achieving this leadership trifecta is imperative for growth and cross-departmental buy-in of new endeavors. EDUGrowers has mastered the art of achieving the proper alignment of leaders, which is a cornerstone to group success. Because after all, when leaders are working toward a common goal, everyone succeeds.

Okay; I have leadership backing and the buy-in of our high-level educational administrators…how do I get the rest of the team on board?

We like to call this the “trickle effect”. On one hand, kudos! You have a group of leaders working toward a common goal; your first step is complete. Now, how to go about getting all staff – from Academic Advisors to Admissions to your own newly-budding Outreach Team to follow suite and operate as a well-oiled, cohesive, value-sharing machine? Thanks to decades of hands-on experience, EDUGrowers knows how to develop a team where every member not only understands the overarching goals, but has total commitment in fulfilling their part of the process. The positive effect on work environment and culture is tangible when all team members align and work together. Let us help you get to this point.

It’s a given that every team needs to have a system for tracking personnel success; where do I start with a brand-new department?

✓ Check.

Although perhaps not the most pleasant project to undertake, you’ve got to implement metrics and quantifiable measurements in order to objectively measure aspects of team success. Standardized metrics help to avoid ambiguity or subjectivity of an expected outcome. Such measurements are clear and concise, and can be associated with daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly goals. Helping managers and employees to understand the benefits of metric measures – and how they are used to attain a common goal –  is critical in an organization’s drive to tangible and desired results. Our group is especially proficient in establishing such measurements within educational institutions…let us show you how!

So…how do we then go about capturing data – from enrollment increases to employee performance to partnership wins – in report formats?

✓ Check.

It’s no secret that reporting is essential to tracking and measuring desired outcomes versus actual outcomes. Capturing such black and white information is critical to helping your institution track activity in the present; compare against yearly goals; and then make appropriate adjustments to get back on track. EDUGrowers will show you how monitoring daily, weekly, quarterly, and yearly results can also help to identify bottlenecks in a process, which can be addressed to help move business forward.
