Tim Westerbeck
PRESIDENT OF EDUVANTIS Contact: tim@eduvantis.com
Tim Westerbeck is President of Eduvantis, a market-leading strategy consulting and marketing services firm serving higher education. In addition to working across the higher education sector, the firm has worked with nearly 70 business schools to help them capture new markets, develop and position new products, gain market share, build brands and design successful marketing and recruitment models. As competition accelerates, it is imperative that business schools design their programs in direct response to the needs and expectations of key stakeholders and best prospects in order to deliver distinctive value. To do this, they must commit to disciplined use of comprehensive data—to establish their strategies, brand positioning, portfolio, delivery models, marketing, selling processes and cultures—if they are to align everything they do toward meeting the unique needs of their stakeholders. In this one hour presentation, Tim will explore this issue and provide attendees with the 5 key steps all institutions must take in order to ensure they are on track to meet the needs of their most important stakeholders and prospects in a differentiated, value-added manner.
