Webinar: Supporting the President in Business Model Transformation
Presidents are faced with a difficult challenge: leading their institution forward despite external and internal headwinds. A narrow focus on prudent stewardship can lead to incremental improvements that are nevertheless insufficient. Internal paradigms can inadvertently place limits on ambitious thinking. However, ambition is necessary for a successful future.
This information-packed webinar described how Core can provide a new operating partner approach to institutional prosperity. Core partners with traditional colleges and universities to achieve revenue growth, operational effectiveness, & technology efficiency. The Core Affiliate Network is comprised of 15 institutions with a collective budget of $700M. These economies of scale allow new levels of resources and insights for the benefit of our partners. Business model transformation does not require changing who you are as an institution, but it changes what you can accomplish.
