Was Christensen Right?
Known for his disruptive innovation theory, Clayton Christensen said in February 2013, “15 years from now, maybe half of the universities will be in bankruptcy… including state schools.” Four years later, in 2017, he even claimed it would take less than a decade, “probably nine years,” for this to happen.

OPM or DIY? That is the Question.
In early June, I attended Eduventures’ annual summit in Boston, a few days packed with in-depth analysis and forward-thinking. On the last day of the conference, during a breakfast panel titled “Turbulence in the Online Program Management (OPM),” I wondered which approach is the best for online education: using an OPM solution or adopting a DIY approach? This

Another Update on the Definition of (Tech) Peer Institution

In a previous post, we revisited our approach to determine institutional peers, intending to inform this institutional decision-making, leveraging many variables from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), such as institutional sector, enrollment size, etc. But can

This pathway to success is even the title of a podcast series hosted by Mitch Russo and is often the topic of business articles (here’s an example from inc.com). When we know that
