Six Essential Questions for Senior Leaders and Boards to Guide Successful Change

This webinar helps higher education leaders take a practical look at what it requires to lead change well. Featuring Susan Elrod, AGB senior consultant, former chancellor of Indiana University South Bend, and co-author of the Change Leadership Toolkit, the webinar focuses on six questions that help leaders clarify what needs to change, why it matters, what leadership is required, what institutional realities could help or hinder progress, and how to support people through the transition.

In 30 minutes, participants learn how to clarify the purpose and scope of change, spot and mitigate common risks, and think through the human, operational and leadership realities that can affect success. The conversation also includes stories from real change initiatives, bringing the framework to life through examples of what helps change efforts succeed—or get in their own way.

Learning Objectives:

• Distinguish between incremental change and deeper institutional transformation.
• Identify leadership, governance, culture, and resource factors that shape readiness for change.
• Use six key questions to strengthen planning, implementation, and transition management.
