NEW · HIGHER EDUCATION PRACTICE
A practice for the pressures and uncertainties institutions face right now.
Enrollment pressure. Financial uncertainty. Leadership turnover. Governance complexity. Artificial intelligence reshaping the work. Conflict that stalls good plans. Today's colleges and universities face multiple challenges simultaneously, and those challenges rarely have easy answers.
Led by Dr. Robbyn Wacker, former president of public and private universities, the Higher Education Practice pairs leaders who have executive leadership experience with Springboard's work in strategy, leadership, governance, and organizational effectiveness. We listen first, because every institution is different. We think systemically about our work because on a campus, issues are interconnected. And we stay through implementation, because a plan is only worth what gets executed.
OUR APPROACH
We listen, evaluate, and build.
Springboard is a thought partner, not a vendor. We start by listening: careful questions, an honest read of where you are, and no framework until we understand your organization on its own terms. Then we build alongside you.
