Higher education institutions can integrate a Fractional Chief Marketing Officer (FCMO) without complications. But it almost always is complicated. And these are the 3 leading causes: 1- The company treats FCMOs as regular VPs with a packed schedule. 2- The onboarding process could be better. 3- Expectations are not clear. A fractional CMO's time should align with our institution's goals. Here's how we make sure everyone is on the same page: 1. The first step is to define the role. --> Identify the specific marketing goals the fractional CMO will address. --> Align these goals with the institution's strategic plan. --> Set clear expectations for the role, differentiating it from a full-time VP. 2. The second step is to communicate the role campus-wide --> Conduct straightforward communication with faculty, deans, and leaders. --> Clarify the responsibilities and scope of the fractional CMO's role. --> Foster campus-wide understanding of this unique position. 3. The final onboarding step is to establish collaborative processes. --> Arrange strategy meetings with the fractional CMO and senior leadership. --> Ensure these meetings are focused on alignment and feedback. --> Set up ongoing communication between the fractional CMO and staff. This approach ensures the effective integration of a fractional CMO. To maximize your FCMO's strategic impact, do this: Define the Role → Communicate Campus-Wide → Establish Collaboration.

🌟 Empowering Educators with High-Quality Tools and Support 🌟 As a former South Carolina teacher and current resident, this post from the South Carolina Department of Education truly hits home for me. Knowing that teacher-created resources meet grade-level standards only 20% of the time is a powerful reminder of the challenges our educators face and the critical need for High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM). At Education Elements, we know that teachers are at the heart of student success, and we’re committed to equipping them with the tools, training, and resources they need to thrive. Through Curriculum Audits, HQIM Implementation Strategies, and Professional Learning, we partner with districts to ensure every teacher has what they need to deliver exceptional instruction. It’s time to invest in our educators and provide the support they deserve—for the success of every student in South Carolina and beyond. 📩 If you’d like to learn how we can help your district make HQIM a reality, let’s connect! #HighQualityInstruction #SCStrong #TeacherSupport #EducationMatters #EducationElements
