30-Minute Presentations
Presentation Abstract (250 word max.)
With a constantly changing landscape filled with new student characteristics and enrollment and retention challenges, institutions of higher education need to rely on collaboration more than ever to find gaps in service and create quality educational experiences for students. But when faced with (often) conflicting demands and priorities, how can teams in higher education start to tackle these issues to improve the health of their organizations? This session will provide an overview of the improvement sciences and their background (including other industries), address the top three improvement sciences that can be used in higher education, and provide real-world examples of successful implementation in various higher education institutions.
