ABSTRACT
A good place to start is assembling key institutional leaders and staff who will be making students initial continuous improvement decisions for the institution. This group will be tasked with everything from identifying the purpose of students initiative through the scheduling of their first year’s activities. Whether students have any of these concerns on the horizon or they are aspiring to be a flagship institution, this type of information will be important for communicating the need for change throughout the organization. If students have no urgent need it will be more difficult to get employees to initially buy-in and make change happen. Student's Lean advisory committee will start by determining the institutional “why.” Sometimes the best way to convince the masses of what needs to be done is by providing perspective. It will be important to develop an awareness of how things are changing in higher education and the impact these changes are having on educational institutions.
