With student enrollments continuing to decline at many universities, doing the USUAL SAME OLD THING has proven to be unsuitable, let alone sustainable. I strongly believe that there should be TERM LIMITS for university board trustees/members as far too many have become apathetic, complacent and narrow minded. There is a biblical quote that states WHERE THERE IS NO VISION, THE PEOPLE PERISH. The same applies to institutions and those unwilling to ADAPT and be FLEXIBLE to the everchanging landscape of technology, economies and social behaviors, will soon become extinct. #theusualisnolongersuitable #evolutionisconstant #therewillbenofuturewithoutmeaningfulchangetoday

Witnessing this firsthand when helping clients succeed with integrations and other transformations. And Bain & Company’s approach is second to none. Thanks for sharing this report, Suzanne Kumar. “Companies underinvest in communications. They underinvest in establishing a ‘sponsorship spine’ to ensure everyone is on board with the inevitable changes. They underinvest in tech tools to measure employee sentiment and employee understanding. They don’t perform retrospectives to see who stayed, who left, who got promoted, who didn’t, and why—information that can help them hone future integrations. And many don’t make any effort to attach economic value to their culture efforts. It may be the first thing CEOs talk about but the last thing they ask their teams to actually do something about.”
