Standing in the way of real student outcomes – from better experience to higher completion and graduation rates – stand some institutional obstacles. Those include (but are not limited to):
- Outdated policies that put the institution first, and the student/staff experience at risk.
- Procedures designed in the 1990’s when pushing paper was the only way to get things done.
- A silo-centric structure that offers no incentives or “why” for cross-departmental collaboration.
- An institution-wide fear of adopting AI and RPA (robotic process automation) despite their incredible benefits.
- Minimal-to-no professional development for first time supervisors and managers – driving a domino effect of cultural and performance outcomes throughout the organization.
To reverse this effect, we team up with transformation-focused leaders who want to drive real change in student outcomes. Our process includes:
- Capturing to the voices of hundreds of constituents prior to any change using our ThinkSpace platform.
- Mapping the journey of each constituent group to find the friction points they experience.
- Creating a step-by-step plan to optimize every friction point (which often includes taking on status quo policies, procedures, systems, and structures).
- Doing the hard work of designing and installing future-ready strategy across all the friction points. This is the place to identify what technology will or won’t fit your unique needs and vision.
- Bringing staff and faculty along in a journey of professional development so a people transformation happens in parallel to the process modernization.
- Putting in the right technology – or optimizing what you already have – to deliver the outcomes you envision.
Whether you’re pursuing an “amazon-like” experience for learners, or higher continuation and completion outcomes for them, stop buying software, and ask Beyond to guide the real transformation your institution needs. You’ll get far greater outcomes. We guarantee it.
