Did you know that 30% of leaders in higher education cite resistance as the top change management challenge? It’s one of the main reasons why driving successful change in universities and colleges is tricky. These institutions are not just centers of learning but are also bastions of tradition and autonomy. Unlike most private sectors, leaders in academia need a nuanced understanding of the impact complex governance systems and faculty tenure have on resistance to change. Governance complexity – Most 4-year universities have decentralized decision-making structures that make aligning department heads during change initiatives difficult. Faculty tenure – The tenure system ensures leading faculty members have academic freedom and job security. An unfortunate byproduct is increased resistance to changes affecting day-to-day responsibilities. The ADKAR® Model is uniquely well-suited to addressing these barriers. It helps facilitate individual change for key figures like provosts and professors. Read more about change management in higher education: https://lnkd.in/epf7VMXR #HigherEd #ADKAR #ChangeManagement
