Ep 18: Building Your Vision 2020 Part 4 - with John Eldert and Howard Teibel | Academic planning often adopts the business approach to strategic planning. The results are predictable: clear, measurable outcomes; tight, pithy vision statement; focused strategy targeting a clear and “directable” organizational culture. But these assumptions don’t fit the higher education planning environment, with many parallel lines of activity, complex vision, and an environment that is often far more self-directed. This week on the show, we bring you part four of our conversation with John Eldert, Vice President of Administration at Berklee College of Music as he joins Howard Teibel to discuss their work on adapting the business approach to strategic planning for higher education. | 6/28/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

In this episode, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright outline those rules and provide suggestions for all who are plagued with ineffective meeting-itis on how to spark the right team behaviors and get back on track. | 5/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Ep 6: Process Mapping | One of the great challenges to efficiency across organizations lies in being able to clearly communicate how work gets done, and who's doing it.

This week on the show, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright dissect this issue, and talk about just how important clear, visual process maps can be in communicating the work of the organization. | 4/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
