Entrepreneurial behavior is a mission-critical ingredient to authentic and sustainable change. We'll help measure and activate just the right amount for your institution.
- Idea Generation
- Problem Solving
- Risk Acceptance
- Need to Achieve
- Persistence
- Future Focus
- Passion
When these traits of entrepreneurial behavior are activated safely - and in just the right measure during your technology transformation or workflow modernization, the outcomes are significantly better than when you leave people to their change-averse default.
The existence of hundreds of shadow systems on every campus in the world - despite investment into tens of millions of dollars worth of enterprise software is proof that people change is the missing ingredient in 99% of transformation projects in higher ed today.
We'll help you fix that.

We guide institutions through mission-critical people change as part of any major transformation by:
- Administering the BOSI Assessment that measures individual, team, and institutional “entrepreneurial DNA”. This includes quipping managers and leaders with frameworks on how to design working groups and innovation teams by leveraging complementary DNAs.
- Delivering workshops, ThinkSpaces, retreats, and experiential learning sessions that align people across divisions and departments to a shared vision, while breaking down silos and fostering inter-departmental collaboration during times of change.
- Certifying managers and supervisors as transformation coaches, so they can guide individuals through change – even if their Adaptation Index is different.
- Design of leadership development curriculum customized to the institution’s message and culture to sustain people through change.
Our study of higher ed institutions has found that when technology or process change is rushed into without a strategic and empathetic plan to bring people along the journey of change, it always leads to chaos, frustration, financial losses, and weak adoption/adaptation.
Invite Beyond to guide your institution through the next major chapter of change at your institution. Whether you’re contemplating future change, or in the throws of a failing initiative, we can help.
