Education:
Challenges, Choices
and Champions 4/26/2002
Understanding what CIT is - is to understand the challenges facing institutions of higher education, their graduates and the critical needs of business.
Today, businesses
are demanding graduates they can put to work tomorrow. Even primary educators
are feeling the push for results. Higher standards of living rest on a
highly educated workforce. Enter CIT, financed by business, the enabler,
the external influence, the communicator - the champion.

John
Hansen - Profile of an Industry Leader 4/11/02:
While companies of all sizes and types are going through massive changes
including downsizing, rightsizing and capsizing, higher education is
addressing similar challenges...and not without pain. Many of our w3w3
Talk
Radio listeners are very interested in the direction of education in Colorado.
So we thought we should look at the all the buzz, from another perspective.
Our
guest is not a passive observer in the process. In our observations of
the dynamics of higher ed, there are many factions, diverse points of
view and certainly some controversy about the steps needed to be taken.
One thing we have learned in business, as soon as you think you understand
everything, they change all the rules.
And Change may be the keyword in everything you learn about CIT. We had questions like how and why, where does the money come from, who is behind this and what does business have to do with education? He's older than you might think, about to see his first child married; wiser than you're likely to guess, not withstanding his heady successes and a man who enjoys life, outdoors climbing or flying, with a beautiful wife and family and at work with an accomplished, small but savvy, loyal staff.
