Anchoring Strategic Communication in Higher Education Institutions

At the heart of our endeavor lies a strategic overhaul of communication functions within higher education organizations, fostering agility and alignment to support institutional priorities.

We initiate this process by conducting an exhaustive assessment of the current communication framework, encompassing its structure, workflows, and decision-making protocols. This evaluation serves as the foundation for benchmarking against best-in-class models prevalent in higher education and mission-driven institutions.

The scope of our project encompasses identifying areas of misalignment, capability gaps, and opportunities for improvement. We then proceed to design a futuristic communication model that harmoniously aligns with the client's Vision 2036 goals, strategic initiatives, and ecosystem engagement.

This transformative journey involves several key phases: discovery and diagnostic analysis, benchmarking, future-state design, and validation and handover. The projected timeline for this comprehensive undertaking spans approximately three months, from mid-July to mid-October 2025.
