NASFAA Business Affiliate Webinar: How to Manage Change and Mitigate Loss During Higher Ed Technology Implementations

Forward-looking institutions are adopting new technologies to meet changing student expectations, economic forces, and workforce demands. Such innovation can be energizing, but also deeply disruptive, as it requires letting go of familiar processes and mindsets. Managing the operational and emotional loss that can accompany change is critical but often overlooked. 

Hear how one multi-college district navigates its migration to a cloud financial aid system, maintaining daily operations and meeting new regulations with a spirit of resilience. They’ll share strategies for applying change management, loss management, and adaptive leadership principles to:

• Lead through the excitement, and grief, of organizational change
• Leverage creative tension to fuel innovation
• Support adaptive teams during implementations and other operational shifts
• Activate humor and emotional intelligence during high-stakes projects
