A commitment to innovation and quality
HLC can help you in many different ways!
Strategic Focus
Having led numerous strategic initiatives, Hay has developed a strong analytical approach to guide teams using fact-based methodologies. Understanding the core intent and direction, using tools such as decision matrices tailored for the post-secondary environment, Hay has the insights to the best practices for moving strategies forward with pace and purpose.
A3 Methods
This approach, used extensively in Japanese manufacturing, allows leaders to focus on the core of the initiative and avoids the pitfalls of getting bogged down in the minutiae. As one of his leaders noted, “I was struggling with a large initiative, trying with a large document to explain where we were headed. When Andrew taught me how to put this into an A3, everything became suddenly clear and we were able to move forward quickly with purpose.”
Toyota Kata
There is a reason Toyota has been so successful, but it does not really lie in the Toyota Production System – rather, it is a specific Kata approach that has kept Toyota at the forefront of automotive manufacturing. Hay has adopted this approach for post-secondary leadership, creating a consistent and lasting method that builds strength in teams with accountability resting where it should – with the leaders that are closest to the action.
Lean Methods
Eliminating waste in administrative decision making is no easy task, but lean approaches can make a tangible difference. Using empowerment in the right way and having Lean as a tool can make a transformative difference in how we approach the day-to-day activities and decisions in higher education.
Program Quality Review
Hay championed the development of a highly effective and efficient annual program review process that uses lessons honed from statistical process control. A three-tiered system provides a robust review allowing program areas make regular adjustments and gain insights into success as well as surfacing and rectifying issues.
Coaching and Mentoring
Senior or emerging leaders have benefited from Hay’s guidance over the years. With a wealth of experience in developing talent, Hay helps bring out the best in people.
