What are the negative effects of universities trying to manage large-scale website redesign projects all at once? Extended timelines for one, which inevitably lead to increased costs. And also, when projects are broken up into smaller, more manageable chunks, greater communication and collaboration between the agency and client can occur. 

Kristin and Carl explore the differences between mental wellbeing and mental health, and chat about the importance of prioritizing self-care.

Kristin and Joel chat about time horizons in Higher Ed, and the relationship between quality and time in project management. 

A college or university website should reflect the organization behind it, and if things are going well, it should act as an employee of the institution itself. However, if there’s a mismatch between operations and the website, it can cause confusion for all stakeholders.

That AI. So hot right now.

Campus leadership doesn’t always know how to hire the right people for technical roles, but they need to figure it out. Understanding where knowledge gaps exist, and filling them with the right people and tools will be essential for staying competitive over time. 

In Higher Ed, when job descriptions are too broad, and there’s not enough specificity about the required skills and responsibilities, they end up attracting employees who try to do it all. And that often leads to burnout.

If you work in Higher Ed, you’ve likely either worked with a Unicorn or, you’d describe yourself as one. Either way, you probably know that they typically have a wide range of skills and can do many different things well. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, though. Unicorns typically experience burnout, high turnover rates, frustration with slower-moving colleagues, and being underemployed. 

What does Kristin have against SWOT analyses? Just the way that they’re typically done. 

Does your college or university have a podcast? Do you even think it needs one?

Just like any new media-based venture, many questions need to be asked before even considering it.

Otherwise, the person in your comms office that has a Blue Yeti and some time to spare, is gonna answer that question for you.

And trust us, it won’t end well.
