The Real Trick in Crossing Boundaries Step one before launching your Academic I- BEST program: send every department on campus a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates

Follow that with Special Facebook “Friend” Requests to: Student Services* Assessment Curriculum Enrollment Services* Financial Aid*

Institutional Research Instructional Departments* Marketing* Payroll Professional Development* Scheduling and Course Selection*

And Consider These Slippery Issues Management Structure Institutional Culture

Ten Seconds on Institutional Culture & Change: Individual (subjective) (objective) Organization

Positive Outcomes More collaborative work among faculty and college departments Institutional pride in actually doing what we claim we’re doing Increased student control over pace and manner of learning Better statistical indicators—student completions, sequence completions, credit accumulations
