How Top-Down Decision Making and Silos Hinder College Progress: Time for Change

Let's Talk Ed

This week on Let’s Talk Ed, we (Zahi Atallah and Chris Forde) “rage” against the chaos plaguing higher education institutions due to financial strain and dwindling enrollments. Join us as we explore the urgent need for deliberate decision-making and outcome-based planning to transform the future of academia.

In segment 1: “Higher Education Under Pressure: Poor Planning & 'Do More with Less’”, discover how years of financial pressure and declining enrollments have led to a culture of doing more with less in colleges. Learn about the detrimental effects on morale, productivity, and the overall quality of education.

In segment 2: “How Top-Down Decision Making and Silos Hinder College Progress: Time for Change”, we explore the impact of top-down decision-making and departmental silos on the progress of colleges. We hope to highlight that such entrenched practices build barriers to collaboration, innovation, and student success.

And finally, in segment 3: “Rethinking Higher Education: Moving from Reactive & Chaotic to Deliberate”, we argue that it is time for a paradigm shift in higher education. Discover why moving from reactive and chaotic decision-making to deliberate, outcome-based planning is essential for the future of academia. We discuss strategies for fostering a culture of intentionality and collaboration.
