7 Major Benefits of System-Wide PSM Initiatives Economies of scale Shared Resources More in-kind services Strength in numbers Reduce redundancy Greater impact from supportive system leaders Facilitate intra and inter campus collaboration Use state legislative leaderships to partner with campuses Advantages branding and name recognition Reduces risk from go-if-alone efforts PSM infrastructure more pervasive and sustainable Produce greater visibility for PSM graduates with employers Facilitates recruitment 11/14/2014 7

13 PSM Program Development Best Practices Market Study: Do a market study regarding workforce needs and encourage faculty to listen to business partners. Business Advisory Board: Organize a Business Advisory Board to collaborate with your PSM program faculty in designing the PSM curriculum, particularly the PLUS component. Adaptation: Early PSM development should focus on adapting existing MS degree programs. PSM Affiliation: Encourage campuses to build PSM affiliation into program development process. Timeline: Establish a timeline for PSM development and create metrics to benchmark progress. 11/14/

14 PSM Program Development Best Practices (cont d.) Sustainable Infrastructure: Build a sustainable infrastructure to maintain PSM programs for the long term. Assessment: Develop an assessment regime to monitor program outcomes. Internship: Solicit internship placements from employers. 11/14/

15 System-Wide PSM Summary Vertical Integration: need support from top down and bottom up Communication: lateral and vertical communication is essential Infrastructure: needs to be sustainable Scaling Up: advantage of system wide initiatives Buy-In: essential from faculty, business leaders and administrators Pioneers: focus on engaging a few receptive faculty, administrators and employers who are enthusiastic about a PSM start-up 11/14/

16 Impediments to System-Wide Collaboration Bureaucratic Challenges: Complex bureaucratic structures and poor communication lines may result in loss of stakeholder support. Resource Constraints: The scarcity of institutional resources and competition among various initiatives can place the PSM on the backburner. Procedural Delays: Even small delays on the system-level can result in severe delays on the campus level. Pushback from Traditionalists: Potential for pushback from traditional research oriented science and MBA faculty. Resistance: Risk taking vs. risk averse. 11/14/

17 PSM Internships Are Vital to Sustaining PSM Programs Internships provide benefits to each of the parties involved. First, COMPANIES get to test drive some of the highest caliber students available for possible future employment. Second, STUDENTS get to receive real world, hands-on experience in a career field related to their specific program to get an idea of what types of responsibilities and duties will be expected of them upon graduation. Third, the INSTITUTION and PROGRAM have a great opportunity to highlight the best and brightest of their students and create collaboration opportunities. Fourth, the STATE/REGION is provided an boost to economic and workforce development. 11/14/

18 Conclusions: State-wide and Regional PSM initiatives can have unique benefits Facilitates: Interdisciplinary collaboration Intra-campus collaboration Inter-campus collaboration University/business partnerships Necessitates top-down, bottom-up and lateral cooperation and communication Established system infrastructure enables faster scale up Early adopters serve as internal nodes for rest of the system 11/14/

19 Conclusions: State-wide and Regional PSM initiatives can have unique benefits cont d. Creates a community of purpose System provides opportunities for shared assets and services Builds a stronger brand and name recognition Benefits from economics of scale Potential for broader impact on regional and state-wide economic + workforce development. Appeals to STEM related businesses 11/14/
