Growth Strategies

Should I expand online presence, grow the main campus, or add campuses? If I expand online programming, which programs should be blended and to what extent? Should I create microsites? If so, what is the best model and how should I go about it? In which cities should we consider expanding? Where should I locate in the cities we have chosen for expansion?

Whatever your questions. Whatever your time frame. Whatever your budget. InterEd will help you determine the empirical and conceptual contributions to a successful outcome.  Call us and see how easy it is to ensure that you have a successful growth strategy in place.

Which Program, What Market, When?

Half of InterEd's work is helping the nation's largest and fastest growing colleges and universities determine which program (new or re-designed) to offer in what market, in what way, and at what time.

We refer to the family of research products designed to answer these questions as Market-Maker™.

The value conferred by Market-Maker™ research is substantial and concrete. We have been providing precise "take it to the bank" guidance 15 years and have yet to issue a false positive or false negative report. We mitigate your risk in program development, marketing, and deployment for a fee that is typically one-third to one-half of what a big box firm will charge to provide you with a formulaic report containing dozens of demographic and psycho-graphic tables, no concrete recommendations, and predictive validity that approximates chance levels.

Enrollment Growth & Management

Some programs have 500 students and seek 500 more while others have 15,000 students and want to double enrollments in the next three years. Planning for systematic, controlled growth in today's markets presents challenges of new proportions. Whatever your enrollment objective, InterEd can help you craft and execute a vision and detailed plan by which you can achieve your enrollment targets with precision, year-on-year, in a way that is congruent with your culture and appreciative of your budget constraints. (We can also tell you if it possible to meet your targets and, if so, exactly how much it will cost to do so.)

Innovation in Retention Management

Most programs spend 20-25% fewer resources on retention than is in their financial and programmatic interest. At the same time, most approaches to retention produce so few outcomes that they result in a negative ROI, and can lead to destructive effects on your ability to accomplish larger goals.

Retention is a complex and typically poorly understood construct. No one understands it better than InterEd's leaders and no one can help you manage retention with the kind of precision and elegance that will produce a faint trace of a smile on your face whenever you describe your program to others.

Executive Tools: Metrics, Real Time Reports, Dashboards

Most corporate executives make informed decisions based on the constant and timely flow and useful presentation of reliable information about their business processes. Higher education's management processes flow from hunches, partial information, delayed information, and — too often — the squeaky wheel.

While analytics is perhaps our greatest passion, there is little we can say without knowing both your challenges and opportunities for improvement.

Scalable Content Development and Management

Although the ROI is high, few reading this are ready to develop a scalable content development and management system. When you are ready, or close to it, the first step is to review our current thinking and consulting services.

Meanwhile, Take Advantage of InterEd's Executive Briefings

When you work with InterEd to achieve a goal, you work with senior decision-makers who have an extended track record of success. A consequence of this business model is that we can engage only a small number of colleges and universities at a given time. At times, we may be unable to accept new clients. So you won't go away unhappy, we offer Executive Briefings through which we share experience, perspectives, and solutions with those whom we cannot serve more personally.

InterEd's Executive Briefings are our pro bono "all-in" service. Through incremental intelligence and short weekly email advisories, we keep you apprised of developments and give you real-time insight into how we are currently solving the challenges that face adult-centered and professional programs.
