Higher Education Consulting Firm Offers New Ideas On How to Gain Strategic Traction(TM)
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Oct 10, 2001--Kaludis Consulting today released the first in a series of executive perspectives on the management challenges facing the nation`s colleges and universities. ''Strategic Traction(TM): How College and University Leaders Keep their Institutions Moving Forward,'' available at www.kaludisconsulting.com, presents and explores a planning and decision-making framework that helps institutions gain the traction they need -- Strategic Traction -- to identify opportunities, move forward, and sustain success.
''Changing conditions and competitive pressures in higher education mean that institutions must continually sharpen their planning skills and improve the outcomes of their decision-making processes,'' said George Kaludis, chairman and president and co-author of the paper.
Senior Vice President and co-author Barry M. Cohen added, ''Our work helps higher education executives cope with the changes their institutions now face -- in stakeholder expectations, technological capabilities, and market competitiveness, to name a few -- and also identify and capitalize on the opportunities that are unfolding before them.''
Strategic Traction is achieved through the application of an integrative approach to strategic thinking, planning, and decision-making that develops focus, sets direction, and achieves alignment of resources. It is the linkage of those three elements -- focus, direction, and alignment -- that generates Strategic Traction. Regardless of type, size, characteristics, or financial wherewithal, institutions can benefit from applying the Strategic Traction
framework.
