Elevate Your Academic Portfolio: Data-Informed Decision-Making for Program Success
Program Portfolio Workshops combine market and financial data with institutional judgment to evaluate current and new programs. Data from PES is available to workshop participants who are also encouraged to include mission, academic, and strategic priorities in their considerations. You will have four lists at the end of two days: programs to Start, Stop, Sustain, or Grow. As important, your senior team will understand and support the program recommendations, including challenging decisions on programs to Stop.
Unlocking Efficiency: Curricular Efficiency Workshop
Gray DI’s Curricular Efficiency Workshop uses data on course-level revenue, cost, margin, and instructional workloads collected in the Contribution Margin Analysis tool to identify high cost, low margin, or redundant courses. In a facilitated workshop, faculty and administrators review the course data and use their judgement to identify opportunities to reduce or re-deploy instructional staff. The data may also be used on an ongoing basis to inform budgets and course schedules.
Additional Services
Pricing Services
Fine-tune your pricing strategies with Value Proposition and Pricing services. Identify a wide range of features–not just price–that your students may seek (e.g., experiential learning). Test each feature and price level to determine how they affect market share, enrollment, net tuition, and margins. Develop strategies that maximize enrollment and margin.
Location Services
Identify prime markets and neighborhoods for new campuses or marketing initiatives. Rank hundreds of markets on student demand, competition, and job opportunities for the specific programs you offer. Use Gray heat maps that estimate potential enrollment by zip code to find the best neighborhoods for a new campus or marketing program.
Program Profiles
Ensure successful program launches with our Program Profiles. The Profiles dive into student demand, job postings, competition, and accreditation. We predict future enrollment and provide benchmark financials so you know program costs and benefits. Get the information your Board will need to approve a new program–and that you will need to ensure its success.
