Engage with a cohort of other Chief Strategy Officers to build your network, explore common issues you face, share current practices, and increase your effectiveness.
Overview
Chief Strategy Officers tend to have no peers at their institutions. Charged with driving the university’s strategic plan forward and working across stakeholders to ensure proper execution, they play critically important roles on campus. This means that they simultaneously must be data-informed and big picture-oriented, ensuring alignment with institutional mission and vision, and they must also possess the leadership skills necessary to influence culture, develop talent, and create alignment across the cabinet, President, and Board.
Given the singularity of this role, Chief Strategy Officers & VPs of Strategy need the ongoing support and community that can only be provided by others serving in a similar capacity. In this roundtable series, you can join a group of other Chief Strategy Officers across higher education to discuss the common challenges you face, get support from experienced professionals, and build your professional and personal network. You will:
- Engage in discussion about timely topics and challenges you’re facing in your role in a small, cohort-based, and confidential environment.
- Build community with other chiefs and VPs of strategy and expand your professional network.
- Learn from peers and exchange institution-specific practices and approaches.
To preserve an intimate and productive experience, this roundtable will be capped at 12 attendees.
Who Should Attend
This group engagement is designed for Chief Strategy Officers, VPs of strategy, VPs of strategic initiatives, and chiefs of staff who report to the President, who serve on the President’s cabinet/executive team, and/or have similar institution-wide strategy-level responsibilities.
