He detailed the board's current focus on "pace and space," an initiative aimed at creating a more inclusive boardroom environment.In a lighthearted turn, the speakers delved into a discussion about their favorite pie flavors, tying in the (at the time of the recording) upcoming Thanksgiving celebrations.

On the eve of NBOA's 2019 Annual Meeting, President and CEO Jeff Shields joins Howard Teibel for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of change and leadership. Their conversation centers on the change in the narrative in independent school education as many in the field have adjusted to a new normal, incorporating new models in tuition and financial management across their operations. What’s more, he introduces Business Intelligence for Independent Schools — or BIIS — a tool for NBOA member institutions and business officers to analyze an exhaustive range of financial data and turn it into meaningful information.

Jeff Shields, President and CEO of NBOA, takes a deep dive into the effect that the 2008 economic downturn had on virtually ever facet of operation of independent schools, especially the marketing office. Challenges are many: the effect rising tuition, ever-expanding facilities, increasing sophistication of both the business offices and the MarCom offices, and virtual schools. What you’ll learn… The changes in the business side of independent school management over the last 10-15 years. The effect that the 2008 recession had on independent schools both as it regards the business side of schools and on how schools market themselves. How tuition levels, which have been hyperinflationary for 15-20 years, affects the ability of independent schools to attract students. How the economic downturn of 2008 set in motion a widespread effort to increase the sophistication and capabilities in of the business offices at independent schools, including increasing the understanding of the markets we operate in. How a renewed focus on building new facilities is affecting they way schools market themselves, talk about themselves, and compete with other schools. The critical and changing nature of how a school describes its value to the families in its market. How schools are adapting their focus and spending on MarCom departments in the face of an increasing number and sophistication of communications channels that need to be managed. How virtual schools compete with and enhance traditional bricks-and-mortar schools. The challenges that independent schools face in the next five+ years.

"People don’t have a problem with change. They have a problem with the uncertainty that the change — or the anticipation of the change — creates." Howard has returned from the NBOA Annual Meeting in Los Angeles and brings lessons learned from his time with business officers and leaders of independent schools. This year, the presentation focused on three key areas: Leading Change, Decision-Making, and Strategic Communication. The objective, to answer the question: where are you in your career and what do you see your role to be in your school? Are you the finance officer, head, or are you truly a champion for change? Thanks to a rich dialog with questions from group, this was an engaging and inspirational session. This week on the podcast, we’re taking comments from Twitter during the session and responding directly.

Howard Teibel once again joins the ranks of presenters at the NBOA Annual Meeting 2016 in Las Angeles. This week on the show, we talk about the levers and pulleys of financial sustainability — tools of financial officers to make change toward financial sustainability, enrollment, and growth — that provide the seed for Howard’s deep dive session to come at the conference. Striking the balance between enrollment management, financial aid, diversity and fiscal sustainability drives the forward thinking business officer, and we’re taking on these topics today.
