Abstract: Implementing change within academic advising can be challenging, but a well-structured change management strategy ensures smoother transitions and greater advisor acceptance of the change. This session explores key strategies for navigating change while maintaining alignment with NACADA's Core Values and Core Competencies. Attendees will learn how to develop a comprehensive change management plan, employ effective communication strategies, and use data-driven decision-making to guide organizational transformation. Additionally, we will discuss the role of hiring project managers to facilitate change and examine the long-term benefits of structured change management. By integrating these strategies, institutions can foster advisor buy-in, enhance efficiency, and create sustainable improvements in advising practices. You will discover actionable insights and be provided tools that will help your institution navigate change successfully and support advisors through periods of transition.
