7. Communication Preferences with Institutions:
We seek to determine the preferred methods and channels for communication between students and educational institutions to ensure effective and efficient communication.
Collaboration and transparency go hand in hand
We seek to develop an institutional culture around collaboration, facilitating, and managing collaboration across-departmental teams, and any challenges associated with building such a culture.
Remove barriers to collaboration by rallying around common themes to create a shared mandate for everyone
Our objective is to foster the formation of unified teams within the institutional framework, which adhere to a shared approach in working towards collective objectives.
Collaboration works well when those facilitating and leading the efforts are not the same as those working through strategies.
To collaborate on strategies means to work together with others to develop and implement plans or approaches to achieve a specific goal. It involves sharing ideas, knowledge, and resources, and working collectively to come up with the best strategies for success.
