We are delighted to announce a free webinar being hosted by HESPA supporters, EAB, is now open for bookings:
Universities often struggle to articulate their individual distinctiveness, asserting the same high-level aspirations claimed by their peers (e.g., innovation, excellence, and impact). Such ambiguity in the marketplace can have real consequences for distinguishing your value to prospective students, potential donors, and other partners and stakeholders. Alternatively, a more principled approach to differentiation can help campus leaders make better decisions regarding resource tradeoffs and prioritisation of initiatives, academic programmes, and services that matter strategically. In this session, EAB will share an approach for validating and articulating your institution’s differentiated value. You’ll come away with tools to test whether your institution’s messaging clears the differentiation threshold, as well as strategies to incorporate differentiation into your strategic planning and decision-making.
