Book Review in PHE by Sandra Kortesoja
About the Authors
Donald M. Norris is president, Strategic Initiatives, Inc., and is well-known as a planner, strategist, thought leader, researcher, and consultant. He and Poulton co-authored, A Guide for New Planners (1991), which aided a generation of planners in higher education. He has authored a number of publications on transformation for SCUP. His book, Transforming Higher Education: A Vision for Learning in the 21st Century (1995), was instrumental in providing a framework for advancing the concept of transformative e-learning in the late 1990s. Transforming e-Knowledge: A Revolution in the Sharing of Knowledge (2003) heralded the arrival of the transformative generation of web services, social networking, and knowledge-sharing capabilities. Norris consults on planning, executing strategy, and developing organizational capacity with a wide range of colleges and universities, corporations, professional societies and associations, and other nonprofits. His recent work on action analytics is enabling colleges and universities to change decision-making behavior; build cultures of performance measurement and improvement; and align institutional strategies, actions, and metrics.
Nick L. Poulton is president emeritus of the Texas International Education Consortium (TIEC). His career has spanned 40 years as a faculty member, researcher, planner, and consultant. He has served in administrative and planning posts in a variety of American and international institutions and as a consultant for institutions across the globe. As president of the Texas International Education Consortium (TIEC), he marshaled the intellectual resources of Texas public universities to provide consulting, language training, and professional development experiences for international colleges and universities. He and Norris co-authored A Guide for New Planners (1991) and their professional collaboration on a wide range of consulting and thought leadership projects spans 35 years. Poulton continues an active international consulting practice.
