Learn why mapping current culture is the critical first step toward meaningful change in today’s challenging higher education landscape.
Too often, campus leaders try to drive transformation through strategy and mission alone—without fully understanding the cultures that determine how work actually gets done. In Part 2 of this five-part series, Jeff Selingo and Lisa Camp explore how higher ed institutions can move from cultural awareness to cultural alignment.
This paper helps leaders identify the multiple, sometimes conflicting, cultures that coexist on their campuses and provides three frameworks for uniting them through intentional coalition-building. You’ll learn how colleges like UC Irvine and William & Mary have broken down silos and built shared ownership of innovation—resulting in faster implementation, more creative problem solving, and lasting change.

Higher ed leaders often focus on vision and strategy—but overlook the operating systems of culture that bring those plans to life. In Part 3 of this five-part series, Jeff Selingo explores how institutions can go beyond broad aspirations to deliberately design the cultural conditions that make innovation stick.
This paper introduces the idea of a cultural “master plan” and outlines five essential steps for shaping behaviors, systems, and feedback loops to align with institutional goals. With examples from Northeastern, the University of Michigan, and Maryville University, it shows how leaders can build cultures that are agile, inclusive, and purpose-driven.
