Making Academic Institutions' Strategies more Effective

  • Strong, but practical, research focus (real world - real learning)

  • Strong interface with leading practitioners (The global meeting place)

  • All learning is lifelong learning

  • What is needed by the academic organization to operate in a consistent way

A networked "curious" organization - rather than classical

  • Action-oriented

  • More action-oriented Human Resources

  • More action-oriented control processes

  • Internal Research and Education entrepreneurs

  • Keep it simple

The strategic challenge of more successful Academic Institutions mean more focused strategies and better strategy implementation.
