Supporting Success Across Multi-Institutional Initiatives

System Leaders: See the Big Picture Across Campuses

Coordinate planning, assessment, accreditation, and reporting across multiple institutions without relying on disconnected spreadsheets or separate campus systems. Nuventive gives system leaders consistent, system-level visibility to how each campus contributes to the greater good, allowing each to benefit from the experiences of others while maintaining its autonomy.

Consortium Leaders: Turn Collective Experience into Shared Progress

Create a common structure for member institutions to pursue shared priorities, report progress, and learn from one another. Nuventive helps consortia identify patterns, compare results, and surface effective practices across their chosen initiatives, from college completion to sustainability and much more. Some consortia choose to pre-negotiate rates for their members, as well.

Connect Experience Across Complex Networks

With Nuventive, You Get:

For Systems: System-Wide Visibility with Institutional Autonomy

Connect centralized and institution-level plans across multiple campuses. System leaders can see progress, compare results, and share information and effective practices, while each institution retains control of its local plans, processes, terminology, and priorities.

For Consortia: Focused Support for Shared Initiatives

Give participating institutions a consistent way to contribute to and track a defined consortium initiative, such as student success or sustainability. Members and consortium leaders gain visibility into lessons learned across the network around what efforts have and have not improved outcomes.

Collective Insight That Accelerates Improvement

Use shared measures and dashboards to identify patterns and understand what is working across participating institutions. Systems can apply this across multiple planning and improvement processes; consortia can build collective knowledge around the specific initiative covered by their license.

Nuventive’s platform is a powerful tool that enables our members to share stories about their commitment to sustainability in tangible, trackable ways.

FAQs

Yes, but the model differs by use case. A system implementation can support multiple planning and improvement processes across its institutions. A consortium implementation is typically configured around defined shared initiatives, with participating members contributing relevant activities, evidence, and outcomes.
Yes. In a system implementation, each institution can manage its own plans and processes while relevant results roll up for system-level visibility. In a consortium initiative, each member determines how it carries out the shared work while reporting agreed-upon information through the common platform.
Yes, when the participating organizations use agreed-upon measures or reporting structures. Systems can compare results across campuses and processes. Consortia can compare progress and outcomes related to the specific shared initiatives, while preserving the context behind each institution’s results.
Not under a consortium initiative license. The platform is configured for the specific initiatives sponsored by the consortium. An institution seeking to use Nuventive for its own strategic planning, assessment, program review, accreditation, or other processes would need a separate institutional license.

Pricing is developed around the structure and scope of the engagement. In some cases, consortia pre-negotiate rates for their member institutions. Contact Nuventive for more information.
