Shared services and consolidation strategies are helping struggling small colleges stabilize operations, reduce costs, and pursue sustainable growth—without compromising institutional identity or student outcomes. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, host Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Jason Duggan, CEO of Thesis Elements, about how these approaches are being used to help small colleges strengthen efficiency and financial sustainability.

He also offers insights into how leadership teams and boards are approaching these strategies in the current financial and demographic environment.
This conversation is especially relevant for presidents, trustees, and senior leadership teams evaluating whether shared services or consolidation strategies could support their institution’s long-term mission and sustainability.

The financial and operational pressures driving small colleges to explore shared services and consolidation
How administrative shared services are helping reduce overhead and improve service quality
Strategic approaches to institutional consolidation and how they can support enrollment and operational goals

Innovative financial and academic strategies to strengthen institutional resilience
