Aligning Enterprise Systems with Institutional Culture and Governance in Liberal Arts Contexts

This session explores how one liberal arts institution aligned enterprise system implementation with shared governance and institutional culture to foster sustainable adoption. The presenter will share strategies for diagnosing institutional dynamics, mapping governance structures, designing communication channels, and using data-informed storytelling. Participants will engage in a small group activity to map governance and communication pathways at their own institutions, leaving with actionable frameworks and tools to strengthen alignment, transparency, and collaboration in enterprise system initiatives across higher education.
