Podcasts about academic planning

In this summer-themed episode, President and executive writing coach Christine Tulley addresses the common challenge academics face during summer months: distinguishing between work time and personal time while managing writing projects effectively. She provides practical strategies for creating sustainable boundaries around scholarly work during the less structured summer period. Christine begins by acknowledging a widespread issue among her clients - the tendency to view summer as an unlimited reservoir of time to "catch up" on writing projects that may have stalled during the academic year. However, she warns against this all-or-nothing approach, noting that summer brings its own challenges including schedule changes, family vacations, travel commitments, and the natural desire to enjoy pleasant weather rather than remaining confined to an office. The episode focuses on two key time management strategies that can transform how academics approach summer productivity. The first strategy involves establishing a realistic weekly hour commitment for scholarly work before each week begins. Christine emphasizes that attempting 40 hours per week of reading and writing is unrealistic due to the mentally taxing nature of screen-based, high-stress academic work, particularly for those working on dissertations or tenure-track requirements. Drawing from her personal experience, Christine shares her approach of targeting 8-12 hours per week during the regular academic year, with 8 hours as her minimum threshold and 12 hours as her maximum before she allows herself to stop. She explains the psychological benefits of using a range rather than a fixed number, as it provides flexibility while ensuring minimum productivity standards are met. For summer intensification, she suggests scaling up to ranges like 16-20 hours per week for those with reduced teaching loads. The range system offers several advantages, including the ability to track progress throughout the week and make informed decisions about additional work sessions. Christine illustrates this with an example of checking progress on Thursday and determining whether additional hours are needed by week's end to meet the minimum threshold. The second major strategy involves deliberately scheduling non-work days during the summer. Christine recommends intentionally designating certain days as completely writing-free, whether for vacation, service obligations, or simply personal choice. This planned approach to rest prevents the guilt and uncertainty that often accompanies unstructured time off. Christine concludes by emphasizing that this systematic approach to work-life boundaries helps answer the persistent question of "how much writing is enough?" She acknowledges that while there's theoretically no limit to academic productivity, realistic physical and mental constraints require thoughtful planning and self-imposed limits.

In this episode, President and executive writing coach Christine Tulley provides essential strategies for effectively wrapping up the spring semester and preparing for a smooth transition into summer. Christine focuses on specific end-of-academic-year tasks that differ from typical semester closures, offering practical advice for academics looking to tie up loose ends before the fiscal year ends. Christine emphasizes the critical importance of addressing deadline-driven tasks first - from spending remaining faculty development funds to completing annual productivity reports and tenure-track requirements. She stresses that these tasks often involve funding or have significant consequences if missed, making them the top priority for spring semester closure. The episode covers essential organizational strategies including managing digital files from spring classes, deciding what materials to keep versus delete, and developing effective naming conventions for future use. Christine shares her approach to handling physical materials like books and printed articles, recommending binder clips with descriptive notes over traditional filing systems that can bury important documents. For educators, she discusses the nuances of course management between semesters, explaining why copying fall-to-fall courses often works better than adapting spring materials due to calendar differences and energy variations between semesters. She also suggests creating a dedicated folder for fall prep ideas without actively working on them until August. Christine concludes with the importance of annual CV updates, timing this task to coincide with required annual reports. This systematic approach ensures nothing gets overlooked while maintaining professional documentation current.

In this episode of Changing Higher Ed, Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Dr. Daniel Greenstein, former Chancellor of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), to explore strategic efforts in guiding one of the largest transformations in U.S. higher education. Over his six-year tenure, Greenstein led PASSHE's integration of six universities into two larger institutions, tackling financial challenges, increasing program diversity, and improving student outcomes—all while maintaining each institution's unique identity and local impact. The discussion covers the complexities involved in large-scale university mergers, including the need for legislative support, active stakeholder engagement, and partnerships with regulatory bodies like accreditors and the NCAA. Greenstein emphasizes that mergers should prioritize student success and community needs over financial motivations, with a purpose-driven approach ultimately yielding greater stability. Key Insights for Higher Education Leaders Understanding the “Why” Behind Mergers: Mergers are most successful when driven by a commitment to student success and community needs. Financial benefits follow naturally when institutions focus on core values rather than cost-cutting.   Change Management as a Critical Tool: Advanced change management practices are essential, including careful planning, stakeholder engagement, and a governance framework that ensures accountability and data-informed decisions.   Navigating Complex Regulatory Requirements: Practical guidance is offered on working with regulatory bodies, emphasizing the importance of collaborative relationships to smooth the integration process.   Maintaining Brand Identity and Local Relevance: Particularly in rural areas, it's essential to preserve each institution's brand identity and community ties, ensuring integrated universities remain relevant and effective in serving local needs.   Holistic Planning and Stakeholder Engagement: A comprehensive planning process involving stakeholders across all university functions optimizes student outcomes, advances diversity and inclusion, and enhances institutional effectiveness.   Student-Centric Approach: McNaughton reflects on the need to prioritize student outcomes during mergers, agreeing that a student-centered focus is critical for long-term success.   Collaborative Leadership and Teamwork: Effective mergers rely on teamwork among university leaders, legislators, and other stakeholders, with a shared commitment to the mission driving meaningful progress.   Clear, Consistent Communication: Communication that is well-timed and consistent is essential in complex integrations, requiring disciplined messaging to keep all stakeholders aligned.   Flexibility and Adaptability: The need for flexibility and adaptability is emphasized, as unexpected challenges require leaders to adjust strategies to achieve successful outcomes.   Engaging External Expertise: External partners, such as accreditation bodies and project management firms, are invaluable in supporting complex mergers and helping to navigate the accreditation process.   Navigating the Political Landscape: Mergers within public institutions involve political realities. Building broad support among legislators and communities is key to gaining approval and securing resources.   Long-Term Perspective and Patience: Realizing merger benefits requires patience and a long-term outlook. Though initially challenging, such integrations ultimately lead to improved student outcomes, greater efficiency, and enhanced academic offerings. Three Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards You are not alone: Many institutions have undergone mergers, so seeking guidance from experienced leaders can provide invaluable insights and help prevent feelings of isolation.   Confidence is Key: Leaders must maintain confidence in their ability to succeed, with resilience and belief in their capacity to see the process through.   Focus on Core Values: Viewing mergers solely as cost-saving measures is limiting; prioritizing student and community needs naturally leads to financial stability and success.

The JTS Commentary for Bemidbar by Beverly Bailis, (KGS '12), Director of Academic Planning and Assistant Professor of Jewish Literature, JTSMusic provided by JJReinhold / Pond5.

Speakers: Jules Goddard, CEDEP Faculty, Fellow of London Business School, Member of the Council of the Royal Institute of Philosophy and author of recently published books on both philosophy and business experimentation. Kate Chauviré, Director, Academic Planning and Coordination, CEDEP Von Frisch's famous discovery about bee behaviour can teach us valuable lessons about exploration in business. Most bees use a ‘waggle dance' to direct their fellow bees to the best pollen sites. But a small minority operate more like mavericks. They ignore the signals of their fellow bees and reject conventional sources of pollen. Instead, they take the risk of exploring further afield, often with no luck, but just occasionally, discover a new treasure trove of pollen. Mavericks in business are the eccentrics challenging the status quo. Rather than being risk-averse, mavericks provoke, stir up debate and explore. And in today's uncertain world, we need more bravery, curiosity and experimentation.  Part of the skill of business is to get the balance right between exploitation and exploration. When firms underperform, it is often because they play too safe. They exploit their cost base by cutting back on expenses wherever they can and neglect the braver option of exploration. The big question is: do you have enough mavericks to make a difference? If you need more, what do you have to do to recruit them or, better still, bring out and liberate more of the maverick within those you already employ?   By encouraging the intrapreneurial talents of mavericks, companies would become more entrepreneurial, restoring the balance between exploitation and exploration.   

Speakers: Jules Goddard, CEDEP Faculty, Fellow of London Business School, Member of the Council of the Royal Institute of Philosophy and author of recently published books on both philosophy and business experimentation. Kate Chauviré, Director, Academic Planning and Coordination, CEDEP There is still so much to discover about human nature, the psychology of choice, and the more practical issues of employee engagement and productivity. We are fallible creatures, and we operate with assumptions, many of which are flawed, if not false.  John Wanamaker famously said: “Half of my advertising budget is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half.” In business, we could equally say: “Half of the assumptions underpinning our strategic plan are falsehoods, but sadly we don't know which half.”  Experimentation in business is the royal road – the scientific approach – to discovery. Yet, most firms would prefer to save on the cost and delay of experimentation than learn where they are going wrong. Most firms, particularly as they become large, lose touch with the world and operate in an echo chamber of clichés and conventional wisdom. It takes courage to be open to what the world has to teach us. Experimentation is the artificial manufacturing of extraordinary experiences without having to travel very far. Pragmatism is helpful here - the belief that we act our way into more accurate ways of thinking rather than think our way into more effective ways of acting. Planning tends to start with objectives to be reached and routes to be plotted, whereas experimentation typically begins with questions to be answered and tests to be conducted. We need to rethink how we do business – be more adventurous, try new approaches, open up to being lucky and bumping into a discovery, make a breakthrough and find a winning strategy. This is the precious art of experimentation. 

Speakers: Jules Goddard, CEDEP Faculty, Fellow of London Business School, Member of the Council of the Royal Institute of Philosophy and author of recently published books on both philosophy and business experimentation. Kate Chauviré, Director, Academic Planning and Coordination, CEDEP Very few people would say that competition in the open marketplace is a bad thing. On the contrary, it is the foundation of the world's wealth. No other system has been invented that comes anywhere near it. But strangely, we do not believe in friendly rivalry when it comes to the internal culture of an organisation. Here we prefer cooperation, not competition. We place our faith in planning, not experimentation. We give job holders monopoly rights over their area of expertise. Each person, each team, and each department operates more like a closed shop. There are penalties for rivalry. We accept the notion of internal socialism where the word of a small and powerful cadre (or politburo) is law, planning is top-down, targets are endless, opinion is unanimous, and a great show of solidarity is the norm. Why do we not trust the collective intelligence of the whole organisation more than the expert knowledge of a minority? We need to rethink organisational design that does not rely on a great leader for its success.   A well-designed organisation or business should freely and quickly adapt to changing opportunities and threats by drawing upon collective wisdom— one where a change in CEO, CFO or CMO has little impact. Change should be natural, continuous, and market-inspired and is more likely to occur if the organisation is designed as a horizontal value chain of internal suppliers and customers who face outward.

Speakers: Jules Goddard, CEDEP Faculty, Fellow of London Business School, Member of the Council of the Royal Institute of Philosophy and author of recently published books on both philosophy and business experimentation. Kate Chauviré, Director, Academic Planning and Coordination, CEDEP When we are young, most of us create more value for the world by belonging to an organisation and learning to be more effective. The organisation adds value to our talent and capability. But at a certain age, most of us grow out of the need for this supportive and protective environment. The organisation starts to hold us back, and we leave to start up our own businesses.  The age at which this becomes apparent will vary. Some of us discover our entrepreneurial talent as teenagers and never want or need employment. Others of us never discover it, and we will always need employment security to provide an income. But the vast majority get to this moment of realisation in their 40s. But what if corporate leaders celebrated rather than mourned the departure of their best talent and took a stake in these new businesses? What about establishing a venture fund and tempting those entrepreneurs to compete for it?  We need to rethink the very idea of employment. Organisations should become universities of enterprise, learning hubs and venture platforms – and thereby lead an entrepreneurial revolution in society. 

Speakers: Jules Goddard, CEDEP Faculty, Fellow of London Business School, Member of the Council of the Royal Institute of Philosophy and author of recently published books on both philosophy and business experimentation. Kate Chauviré, Director, Academic Planning and Coordination, CEDEP Economics has led us to believe that buyers use price to measure cost, not quality and evaluate competing products according to their functionality and utility – the lower the price, the better. We have traditionally assumed that competition is about efficiency, that winners are the cost leaders in their industry, and that the benefits of a larger market share and higher sales revenues lie mainly in economies of scale. But what if the art of strategy is to stay one step ahead of the need to be efficient? Red Bull became the most successful soft drink competitor to Coca-Cola in its history by delivering a smaller can, a higher price and, arguably, a horrible taste. And how did it do this? Red Bull worked to a very different set of principles. It employed psychology and invented a new category it could own. It chose not to compare itself with Coca-Cola or make claims of superiority. Instead, it was happy to be a unique brand with its own aura, tone of voice and imagery. It tapped into an aspect of human psychology that economics does not recognise – the idea that a product can have a personality and that consumers' choices in the marketplace are essentially emotional and cannot be mapped on to a rational scale of utility. We need to understand that the market is much closer to being a game of discovery than an economic exercise. Philosophers have a name for this argument: the category mistake, whereby we place business in the wrong category, manage it as a rational activity with a correct answer and treat buyers and sellers as maximisers of utility.  

Speakers:  Jules Goddard, CEDEP Faculty, Fellow of London Business School, Member of the Council of the Royal Institute of Philosophy and author of recently published books on both philosophy and business experimentation.  Kate Chauviré, Director, Academic Planning and Coordination, CEDEP  One of the most important insights of philosophical evolutionary theory is that life continuously throws up challenges and we must adapt. We are at our best and most human when solving problems. Rather than following rules, obeying instructions and sticking to what has worked in the past, modern workplaces draw upon our capabilities most effectively when we are meeting critical challenges creatively. We rarely challenge organisational hierarchy and bureaucracy. But in times of crisis, the rule book is thrown away. We ignore standard processes. Those who have the skills to solve the problem come together spontaneously and informally. The culture becomes one of constructive conversation amongst equals rather than a formal meeting of bosses and subordinates. In other words, adhocracy replaces autocracy with hugely beneficial consequences. The problem is solved.   Getting the balance right between spontaneity and structure or between informality and control is difficult. And many companies are too wrapped up in their conventions to see things differently and try out alternative ways of working.   The workweek and the workplace are human inventions. They are not part of nature. We do not have to work from Monday to Friday in office settings in structured organisations and have salaried jobs or paid employment. These are our inventions, and we have chosen to work like this.   The Covid-19 pandemic has taught us that there are alternatives to the conventional workplace, and it is time to reinvent corporate culture and the way we work.

There are over 30K high schools, which means there are 30+ valedictorians, class presidents, team captains, etc. While the average acceptance rate to colleges across the country is over 60%, if your child has a "dream college" on their mind, you won't want to miss this episode. How will s/he stand out among a pool of thousands? Be Present. Be Open. Be Uncomfortable. Today, our guest, Ross Mankuta, offers his tips, tales, and lessons on how teaching your child to be present, be open-minded, and be willing to explore and be uncomfortable is the best preparation for the college admission process. And if YOU, as the Parent, can find a way to teach your child to do all of that, well, my friends, you are raising a courageous doer and college-bound teen! As the Director of College Counseling, Ross discusses Early Action, Early Decision, and the reality of applying to highly competitive institutions. Ross also offers surprising tales of two of his most memorable students and applicants, and explains what made each one so compelling in the admission process. Ross truly puts the Community in his school, Milken Community School. HIGHLIGHTS from this episode: IF YOU DO NOTHING ELSE, JUMP TO MINUTE 30 AND LISTEN FOR 15 MINUTES. I asked Ross to share a tale about a student that stands out from his entire career. Ross gives a detail description about two students who stood out in the application with their PQs. They found their "coolness" factor and leverage that in the application process. One is a C/B average student in school, but wins a top award while in the middle of application season. The other becomes known in the admission office as "Train Boy" because of application to USC's Policy, Planning, and Development School. Both applicants use their passions to guide their journey to college. They didn't do what they thought they "should" do, but rather, what they wanted to do. You are in for a treat. Take the 15 minutes!! I promise you, it will be worth it. Bio: Originally from Long Island, NY, Ross D. Mankuta earned his Bachelors and Master's degrees from the George Washington University (GW).

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we explore this topic in a book panel discussion of "In Defense of Openness: Why Global Freedom Is the Humane Solution to Global Poverty." The panelists discuss the linkage between economic rights and development and whether or not global freedom is rightly correlated with global justice. The panel includes: - Peter J. Boettke (Moderator), Director of the F.A. Hayek Program & University Professor of Economics and Philosophy at George Mason University - Jason Brennan (Author), Robert J. and Elizabeth Flanagan Family Professor of Strategy, Economics, Ethics, and Public Policy at Georgetown University - Bas van der Vossen (Author), Associate Professor in the Smith Institute for Political Economy and Philosophy - Anna Stilz (Panelist), Laurance S.

Finding the right college can feel overwhelming. From the time kids enter high school, thoughts of “What’s next?” become increasingly important. As your children (and you) begin the search, many questions may come to mind. How do I find the right college for me? Do I want a large university or small college? Close to home or far away? How can I look beyond big name schools to discover a gem I might not have heard of? What do I need to do now to increase my odds of getting in and getting a scholarship or financial aid? How do I prepare an application that stands out from the crowd?   Finding answers can feel daunting. However, there are so many more resources available today — from online college tours to knowledgeable college counselors. Gone are the days of the inches thick guide to all the colleges!

Sheridan College, in the suburbs of Toronto, is world renowned for its creative programs, such as top-ranked illustration and animation degrees – and it has built its entire institutional brand on the slogan “Get Creative.”  This week, Ken Steele sits down with Janet Morrison, Sheridan’s president and vice-chancellor, to discuss how higher ed can cultivate creativity, equipping students with crucial skills for the future, and preparing staff and faculty across campus to embrace innovation and change.   Janet begins by explaining that Sheridan’s commitment to creativity goes far beyond the obvious creative programs.  Creativity relates to people, process, product and space. CEOs and thinktanks agree that creative thinking will be an essential skill for graduates in the new economy, and AI experts anticipate that more creative functions will be the last to be automated.  Creativity can a valuable “inoculator” against constant change and disruption, and provides tools to deal with ambiguity and complex problems. “The only certainty is that things are changing.”   Post-secondary education is a transformative experience, both personally and socially, beyond the undeniable economic impact on graduate earnings.  Higher education cultivates a sense of happiness, leading to more social engagement, political activity, and volunteerism.  “PSE is a public service. It does good things for the public,” Janet asserts. “How we foster engagement, teach and mentor them to be active citizens in a democracy really matters, maybe moreso today than ever.”   At Sheridan, they believe that creativity can indeed be taught: “it is totally possible.” More than 3,000 students, 300 staff, and 100 external community members have taken courses or workshops in innovation and creative thinking at Sheridan. Janet says the workshops “have fuelled creative thinking and innovation in not just our programs but our service delivery.” Sheridan’s mission is being “fuelled and accelerated” through training and development in creativity.   Sheridan is proud of its three “creative campuses,” which Janet explains authentically reflect the institution’s values. “Space matters… We want people to experience creativity from the minute they’re on our properties.” Sheridan has installations at its Creative Campus Galleries that challenge students, faculty and staff to reflect and rethink.  An annual “creative speakers” series has brought Ken Dryden, Roberta Jamieson and others to campus, to cultivate curiosity and allow people to see the world through a different lens.   Janet emphasizes the importance of listening, consultation and collaboration, and “capitalizing on the contributions that students, faculty and staff can make to move the institution forward.” She has led an Academic Planning and now also a Strategic Planning process at Sheridan that aim to be “the most open and engaged in Sheridan’s history.”  If you hire the right people, she observes, “they’re opinionated, well-educated, with great experiences” and inevitably disagree at times about the direction of their learning community. “When people care about the place, they’re going to express those opinions with a level of enthusiasm.” The task of the campus leader is to sift and sort, triangulate the input from across campus, and find “not consensus but a level of alignment and mutual agreement.”   Dr Janet Morrison championed student success at York University for 17 years, ultimately as VP Students, before joining Sheridan College in 2016 as VP Academic, and 2 years later becoming Sheridan’s President. She holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in History and Education.   Next week, Ken’s conversation with Janet continues, with a look at Mental Health and Student Success.

President Johnson and educational and career planner Josh Staffieri discuss career exploration and the resources available to students who are planning for life after college. Topics include figuring out who you are, where you're going, and how you're going to get there.

With Advising Day just around the corner (January 30, 2019), Green River College President Suzanne Johnson sits down with Allison Warner, director, Career and Advising Services, to discuss academic planning.

it sounds like the set up for a bad comedy routine: What is the role of morality in business -- business ethics -- today? But in an age where reputation matters – where a business’ brand and customer connections can be ruined almost faster than you can “Tweet this” – not just understanding, but doing, the right thing is more than nice… it’s a business imperative. But what is “the right thing?” For example, how should businesses balance social benefit with bottom line revenue? For whom does a business operate? And is there a place for morality in the boardroom? My conversation today is with someone who sits, as they say, in the room where it happens. Jules Coleman is one of the nation’s preeminent moral philosophers. For years, he was the Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld Professor of Jurisprudence and Professor of Philosophy at Yale Law School. He then became the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Planning at New York University. Today, Coleman serves on a number of corporate boards as a Senior Strategic Advisor, bringing his decades of theoretical thought and analysis to the practical application of global business.

Dr. Daniel Greenstein serves as director of Education, Postsecondary Success in the United States Program, for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Before joining the foundation, Greenstein was Vice Provost for Academic Planning and Programs at the University of California Office of the President. In his current capacity, he oversees work to substantially increase the number of students who acquire a post-secondary degree or certificate. Dr. Greenstein frames the conversation for us around the following key points: How do we address the significant gaps in our workforce development needs as we head toward 2025? What is the role in seeking business efficiency in building a sustainable institutional future? Are we doing enough to be genuinely disruptive? How may our emerging divide in civil dialogue impact student enrollment patterns and the diverse makeup of our institutions? Dr. Greenstein takes on these questions in the context of student success, and as powerful factors in the sustainable financial success of our institutions. This is a conversation about innovation, disruption, and engaging in an effort to take on bold ideas in support of our own future as educators.

His research has centered on human learning and memory and he has published about 300 articles and chapters, mostly on various aspects of cognitive processes involved in remembering. His recent research has focused on illusions of memory (how we sometimes remember events differently from the way they actually occurred); effects of testing memory (how retrieving events from memory can change their representation, often making them more likely to be retrieved in the future). WE DISCUSS: How cognitive psychology defines learning Common misconceptions about learning How re-reading and review doesn't work for retention Why retrieval practice works How higher order thinking skills integrate with retrieval practice Retrieval practice and learning transfer Simulations Study groups Interleaved and spaced practice versus massed practice Memory consolidation Benefits of making learning difficult Neuroplasticity TIME: 35 minutes RATE: Rate this podcast in iTunes TRANSCRIPT: Download the [Download not found].
