The Challenge
In hopes of reversing enrollment declines and/or stabilizing finances, many universities are building online courses, converting programs to an online modality, or pursuing the latest programmatic fad. Unfortunately, those hopes often have gone unfulfilled.
Successful institutions start with a comprehensive strategy for digital transformation. One that advances institutional mission and resonates with consumers and constituencies. One that thoughtfully and realistically outlines achievable, sustainable, and scalable results.
Concurrently, changes in the education technology services industry have eliminated an “all or nothing” proposition requiring either a full-service OPM partnership or a “go it alone” in-house commitment. Distinctive strategies require unique arrangements, structures, and services.

Strategic Context
For many colleges and universities, online programming represents the most critical strategic dimension for market visibility and financial sustainability. Often, executive leadership lacks the experience and/or expertise to create and lead non-traditional programming and expansion.
Institutions seek a “roadmap” for success in launching, growing, and sustaining online programs and enrollments, whether they create in-house operations or they utilize third-party providers.
The use of third-party providers does not alleviate the institution’s need to build effective internal policies, procedures, leaders, and teams to build entrepreneurial capacity and expertise.
Higher education institutions can maximize their online opportunity through five strategic moves.
