Your Mission - Our Solutions

 

Assessing the alignment of your enrollment strategies, systems and structure to support your goals enables us to develop a blueprint for success. 

 

No organization operates in vacuum - or in a world that is in perfect harmony with its goals. Colleges and Universities enroll students in an increasingly competitive and challenging external environment. This environment is constantly changing and poses threats and opportunities that inhibit or support the achievement of institutional goals.

 

Enrollment goals should be realistic, sustainable and supported fully by the institution after a frank and honest evaluating of internal strengths and weaknesses and careful assessment of the relevant opportunities and threat in the external environment.

 

Project Overview

 

To conduct a thorough organizational review and provide you with an implementable strategic management plan, we begin by reviewing a number of off-the-shelf materials submitted by you, such as:

 

• organizational charts

• job descriptions

• descriptions of recruitment- and retention-related programs

• financial aid policies

• planning documents

• prior market research or surveys

• communication calendars and materials

• and sample reports.

 

After our enrollment management consultants familiarize themselves with your materials and departmental structure, we visit your campus, interviewing staff responsible for various enrollment-related functions. During this visit, we come to understand whether the current organization and training of staff is optimal – or not. We learn how information is shared – and when it is not.

 

We compare your use of technology to best industry practices and help you determine who your “super-users” are when applicable. With you, we assess the extent to which the whole campus community is involved in helping to achieve institutional enrollment goals and where there might be opportunities to further enhance enrollment-related programming.

 

The ultimate deliverable is a written report that provides recommendations related to organization, operations, and best practice strategies, including detailed information about implementation for you and your enrollment team.
