Systems Thinking is the Key to SEM Success

There is no doubt that Canadian colleges and universities turn to Strategic Enrolment Management (SEM) for managing student enrolment. However, if you and your team do not truly understand what SEM is and the importance of looking at the institution as a whole rather than in parts, are you contributing effectively?

It’s time to take your day-to-day institutional lens off and uncover how every role within your institution intersects and truly supports organizational success, including your own.

In this interactive session, participants will learn and discuss the basics of systems thinking and understand the importance of being a systems thinker in your role. Additionally, we will discuss potential ways to challenge your team to adopt this type of thinking which will lead to a natural adoption of a SEM ecosystem at your institution.
