MCLEAN, Va. - Nov. 14, 2024 - PRLog -- Higher Digital, a global leader in strategic change management and technology services for higher education, announces the launch of (SEA)results®, the first Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) solution specifically designed for higher education institutions. This innovative platform empowers universities and colleges to prioritize their projects against strategic objectives, align resources to maximize effectiveness, and drive measurable results.

As educational institutions face mounting pressures to do more with less, the (SEA)results system allows them to prioritize project, program, and asset investments in real-time. Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM), as first defined by Gartner, is a set of business capabilities, processes, and technologies that help organizations make data-driven decisions on resource allocation while ensuring alignment with strategic objectives.

Bringing Strategy and Execution Together in Higher Education

The (SEA)results software enables institutions to continuously adapt and balance their portfolios as circumstances evolve. The system ensures that universities are better positioned to achieve their long-term goals. This critical alignment between strategy and execution enables institutions to succeed in an increasingly competitive and resource-constrained environment.

Successful Completion of Design Partner Program

Higher Digital also celebrates the successful conclusion of its 12-month Design Partner Program for (SEA)results. The program's first cohort included prestigious institutions such as Arizona State University, Kent State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, St. John's University, University of Idaho, University of Southampton, and Ventura County Community College District.

These design partners played a pivotal role in the refinement of the (SEA)results system, contributing critical feedback and enabling real-world testing to ensure the solution meets the unique needs of higher education.

Higher Education Leader Perspective: Portfolio Visibility

Dan Watkins, Associate Vice Chancellor of Information Technology at Ventura County Community College District, is a charter member of the Design Partner Program: "Our technology team faces growing challenges in using our limited resources to support the institution's strategic objectives and worthy mission," said Watkins. "With the (SEA)results software in place, we are gaining visibility and control of the entire portfolio of projects that impact our daily activities and across our colleges."

Arizona State University ScaleU Program

Earlier this year, the (SEA)results system was selected for Arizona State University's ScaleU Program which will accelerate Higher Digital's effort to define the market for strategic portfolio management in higher education. Already a proven, powerful tool for driving institutional benchmarking and assessment, the (SEA)results system is set to further elevate its impact through this unique partnership.
