More than almost any other type of organisation, except perhaps monasteries and universities, perceive themselves as communities, defined by their shared commitments to academic excellence and scholarship. 

University Strategy briefings

Through our series of five Strategy Briefings we have share what PA Consulting Group has learned with our Higher Education (HE) clients worldwide about successful strategic management of universities in the 21st century.

In essence, we believe the most successful institutions demonstrate four basic capabilities:

  • An ‘outside-in’ understanding of how the university is perceived by their customers, investors and stakeholders

  • Capacity to implement strategic responses to these expectations through the business-as-usual operations of the university

  • A ‘one university’ mobilisation of all of the institution’s energies, resources and activities to deliver or support strategic goals

  • Cultures and systems that align governance, management and staff behaviours with strategic ambitions. 

Our briefing papers describe principles and tools that institutional leadership teams can adopt, adapt and apply to strengthen their strategic management capabilitie.
