PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR HIGHER EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS
Project management skills are transferrable across a variety of job sectors, including higher education. In today’s competitive education landscape, academics, students and other stakeholders must collaborate effectively to achieve success. Project management in higher education plays a key role in keeping track of the nitty-gritty, while moving towards broader goals.
Running a higher education institution is much more than just promoting learning on a daily basis. Quality improvements in planning, infrastructure, academic assessment and employee retention can only be implemented through successful project management. And in today’s digital era, higher education institutions increasingly need to rely on a streamlined approach to identify goals, resources and schedules.
Higher education needs to adapt to fundamental changes that have occurred due to globalization and the evolution of technology. Effective project managers offer competitive advantages, reduce costs, increase efficiency and effectiveness, and assess overall sustainability of the institution. As a project manager in higher education, your primary function is to implement a planned and proactive approach to problem solving. Successful project management helps higher education institutions meet the needs of an increasingly interconnected generation.
