It comes down to that clarity on what's the vision we (institutions) have for ourselves, what are the outcomes we’re trying to achieve, how then can these risks stand in the way and do we understand that? Having that specific understanding of what it means and what the call to action is for every one of your cabinet members, board members and stakeholders are what’s critical.Christine Smith, Managing Director - Higher Education, Baker Tilly
