Description: | Select Guide Rating The book underscores the key benefits HK can offer HE institutions. With its Lean roots of continuous improvement and respect for people, HK offers HE institutions an effective and sustainable approach to strategy implementation and deployment. Strategy, the link between mission and operational plans to improve an institution’s performance, is a critical element to the future success of higher education (HE).
