Measuring Academic Program Cost and Demand for Improved Resource Allocation (Corporate Surcharge)
$500.00
Gain the tools and skills you need to understand the financial contributions of your academic programs, and thus inform decisions across campus. During this 2-day training, you will learn the basis for building your own cost and demand model, so you can better:
- Understand the financial realities of current programs
- Identify new opportunities based on your market
- Calculate proforma and milestones on new academic programs
- Effectively communicate information to a variety of audiences
- Integrate technology tools to increase speed and service
- Set milestones and prioritize for action
With these data and calculations in-hand, you will be able to have more productive conversations about where and how best to allocate limited academic resources for core programs and new and innovative opportunities.
Active Learning: Bring Your Data and Your Laptop
Throughout this conference we will focus on the process of actually making cost and demand calculations and examine how you can use that data to inform and communicate strategic decisions. Upon registration you will be asked to complete:
- A survey so we can learn more about your specific questions and needs, and
- A template with your institutional data that will help you contextualize the concepts and working session activities.
