How do you communicate with and prepare your campus for a large, or even a small transformational effort? Whether you are recreating a student experience, implementing a campus-wide CRM or launching a series of new academic programs, these efforts cross departments and divisions and have the ability to produce tremendous results, and of course, require significant change.
That's why having a proper vision is importa
nt. When written effectively, the vision provides the foundation and framework for what the transformation means, what it does for the experience of those connected to it.
A vision is NOT a statement or a paragraph. Those cannot clearly articulate the work or expected outcomes of the transformation itself.
Kennedy & Company has opened our toolbox to share how we help clients draft visions. We've done that by offering you a full sample of our client vision. It follows the Amazon-based model referred to as a "Press Release and Frequently Asked Questions," (PR-FAQ). This is a forward looking statement, written at the start of your project, through the lens of the go-live moment of your project - as if it were a press release announcing exactly what has been done - just written before you've actually done it.
This document provides both a conceptual understanding of the transformation effort, and the outcomes it will produce, but also a set of FAQ's that members of your community may have about the effort.To download a copy of our sample vision, please fill out this form.
