Academic Restructuring: Guidelines For Academic Leaders

Restructuring in every form, is hitting institutions all over the country.

Tough economic times lead to tough changes, and deans, department chairs, and others suddenly find themselves responsible for implementation.

The changes can be major, from layoffs to program elimination, but in every case the transition process is filled with skepticism, conflict and anxiety.

The stakes are high when failure means losing talented faculty, increased interpersonal conflict, and reduced collaboration.

We reveal a practical planning process focused on success as well as minimizing conflict, attrition, and developing positive new cultures in this 90-minute seminar.

It is an in-depth discussion of the seven steps to making it work:

1. Defining the Project
2. Establishing Guidelines (samples included)
3. Mapping the Processes
4. Creating a Timeline
5. Pinpointing Necessary Personnel
6. Crafting a Communication Plan
7. Defining Success

In the handouts on the CD you get sample documents, checklists and worksheets to serve as a baseline for the development of your own implementation process, plus do's and don'ts.

Restructuring is coming: Are you prepared?
This seminar is critical for:

• Comprehensive Universities, Research, Baccalaureate, and Community Colleges.
• Deans
• Department Chairs
• Budget Managers
• HR Professionals
• Transition team members
