12. The Case for Organizational Change
Analysis of the “state” of the College
• Employee morale
• Appraisal/reward systems
• Equity and fairness
• Financial risk management
• Budgeting
• Cost consciousness
• Product positioning
Too many organizations are structured to have different functions compete with
each other, not work for the good of the total. - H. James Harrington
• Customer relations
• Quality of service
• Quality of product
• Organizational alignment
• Project management
• Community relations
• Board relations
13. Higher Ed Vulnerability
Institutional Characteristics
• Full service, soup to nuts; food, safety, financial, environment
• Openly diverse
• Freedoms at HE are normally controlled in corporate
• Expected to be exceptional provider
• Encourage to come; be unique
• Age groups in first decontrolled experience
• Freedoms are self-centered; not focused on institution
• Open physical environment
• Political activism
• Unique goals for diverse stakeholder groups
Therefore the institution serves as a nexus for conflict.
