CIBER's Higher Education Practice will see you at AACRAO!
Dewey Holleman, Practice Manager : 01 March 2011 / 9:57 AM : 0 
This is about the time of the year where I stand and stare at my closets at home, start looking around the house and planning my attack of the ‘Spring Clean” I usually aspire to each year. Every week, I say to myself, “I want to start but I have so much to do, where do I begin?” It was also this time of year, when I worked on a university campus, in the height of admissions processing, that I would think of all the ways I would like to improve processes or the operation as a whole for the next cycle. Even though the solutions seemed within reach, many times resources were tight, time was short and competing priorities made decisi on maki...

Is Knowledge Management the key?
Dewey Holleman, Practice Manager : 05 November 2009 / 5:15 AM : 3
There are two types of knowledge management often being discussed, Personal Knowledge Management and Enterprise Knowledge Management. In simple, digestible terms, Personal Knowledge Management refers to the personal responsibility to share, to learn, connect and share personal insights. Enterprise Knowledge Management is an organization’s concern with strategy, process and technologies to acquire, store, share and secure organizational understanding, insights and core distinctions and is closely tied to competitive advantage, innovation and agility. Can we afford either of these to be absent? I propose that they both must be present and that Enterprise K...

Technology Will Change the College Fair Experience
Dewey Holleman, Practice Manager : 25 June 2009 / 4:11 PM : 1 
The college fair is an experience dreaded by some admission professionals, but one that most talented high school students look forward to. For the college admissions counselor, it can be a long tiring day or night spent standing behind a marketing display repeating the same institutional facts, collecting contact cards from students who stop by their table, and long nights helping the staff back at the institution enter the contact information into the prospect system to ensure that prospective students receive more information in a timely manner. For the student, however, the event quite often is a welcome experience. Students may be excused from class, or simp...

CIBER Consultants Are The Added Value
Dewey Holleman, Practice Manager : 03 June 2009 / 3:46 PM : 0
Tough Times Never Last…..
But tough people do…..as the saying goes. So, how do we outlast the tough times? One way is to reach down and recommit ourselves to the concept that our true strength does not necessarily lie in our processes or procedures but in ourselves. People are the difference. And what makes us the difference is our belief that we ourselves bring added value to the table every time we interact with the client. Many times we are able to define ‘added value’ as the varied experiences we have had or the creative juices that flowed within a team that addressed a set of unique challenges. That’s easy ‘added value’. The tougher a...
