Civitas Learning Webinar: One Step at a Time – How to Level Up Your Student Success Strategy with a Phased Adoption Model
Investing in student success technology, like the Civitas Learning Student Impact Platform, is a significant strategic undertaking. However, attempting a full-scale implementation all at once can often create a barrier to adoption and stall progress toward institutional goals.
Join Civitas Learning and our panel of experienced institutional leaders from California Community Colleges to explore a proven, phased approach to platform adoption and change management. In this one-hour webinar, you will hear how two institutions, despite being at different stages of their journey and facing unique challenges (including overcoming a bumpy start and navigating complex change management environments), successfully implemented a phased strategy to realize the full value of their investment in student success software:
- Starting Small to Win Big: Learn how to intentionally begin with a single team or one key capability to build a coalition of the willing and demonstrate early success.
- Intentionally Leveling Up: Discover actionable strategies for scaling adoption, from expanding key features like early alerts into new departments and integrating them with existing tools, to leveraging Multi-Outcome Insights for executive teams.
- Creating a Unified Playbook: Understand how to move from scattered efforts to a cohesive, campus-wide approach, utilizing the Student Impact Platform to drive coordination, establish a “same playbook,” and use a singular tool across multiple offices for more proactive and effective student support.
Attendees will leave with practical takeaways on how to structure a focused, phased rollout that reduces staff friction, drives campus-wide buy-in, and maximizes the return on investment (ROI) in their student success initiatives.
