94: The Story of UMass Lowell — Change, Agility, and Growth with Joanne Yestramski & Lauren Turner
Teibel, Inc. has been working with UMass Lowell as part of a structural review of the finance and operations division. Today on the show, we’re going to discuss that project with our special guests from UML, Joanne Yestramski and Lauren Turner. We’ll focus on this work in the context of the institution’s success in cementing a culture of organizational agility in this challenging education market.
UML’s nimbleness has fostered year over year growth in quality education, service, and enrollment. Joanne and Lauren join Gail Gregory and Pete Wright for the story of UMass Lowell, from a transformation in top leadership, to a culture of sustained growth and progress.
Our conversation today is a prelude to their presentation next week at the EACUBO Annual Workshop in Washington DC. Join Gail, Joanne, and Lauren as they showcase their work, and the evolving UMass Lowell organizational structure that has served them so well.
