About the Episode
About the Episode:
In this episode of The Application, host Allison Tursio sits down with Jack Corby, Vice President at Stevens Strategy, to explore why so many enrollment teams are struggling to meet modern demands with outdated organizational structures. Jack identifies data fluency and project management discipline as the biggest capability gaps in enrollment offices today, and makes the case for "systems thinking" as a critical — and hard to find — skill that can make or break a team's effectiveness.
The conversation digs into practical strategies for leaders navigating restructuring, from identifying early warning signs like flat org structures and siloed institutional knowledge, to distinguishing between being understaffed versus simply misstructured. Jack also shares advice on maintaining morale through uncomfortable conversations, hiring for curiosity and adaptability, and taking that first small step — even just one honest conversation — toward building an enrollment operation that's ready for what's next.
