Ready To Empower Your Institution to Thrive and Succeed Through Change?

Prosci's proven approach addresses common change challenges by focusing on the people side of change—turning potential resistance into engagement and transforming implementation risks into strategic advantages.

Higher education institutions face unprecedented technological change—from AI integration and hybrid learning environments to cybersecurity threats and evolving student expectations. Yet implementing these technologies successfully presents unique challenges in academic settings:

  • Complex stakeholder environments with faculty, administration, and student constituencies
  • Decentralized decision-making across academic departments
  • Budget constraints amid rising technology costs
  • Balancing innovation with academic traditions
  • Maintaining cybersecurity while promoting accessibility

    Prosci equips technology leaders to overcome these challenges, helping you achieve measurable ROI, build institutional change capability, and accelerate digital transformation timelines.

What happens if you install a new LMS that students and faculty refuse to adopt and use? What if employees in finance develop a manual workaround for the new multi-million-dollar ERP system? Any significant, high-risk change that depends on people adopting and using it needs effective change management to be successful. Because institutions don’t change—people do.
