KPMG Connected Enterprise for Higher Education is a consumer-centric, enterprise-wide blueprint for digitally transforming universities. This research-based1 framework is designed to help position institutions to drive increased value and returns by intentionally designing and aligning the elements of a university to help deliver seamless, consumer-centered experiences.

The framework is based on an analytical view of a transformed university in its future state, summarized below.  Based on the analysis of core and enabling practices, an operating model is built to suit the particular institution. The “Enterprise on a page” view (see chart below for overview) also supports a KPMG capabilities diagnostic; a tool designed to help higher education clients assess their maturity in the eight critical capabilities that are core to successful, consumer-centric operations. The capabilities diagnostic can also be mapped to a more detailed version of the Enterprise on a page, helping institutions target their reform resources to the functional areas where investment will be most effective. The KPMG Connected Enterprise for Higher Education framework also offers a technology architecture resource (see chart below for overview) for implementing digital enablers of transformation.

Education specialists with KPMG firms use their experience and deep understanding of the sector – coupled with insights from transformation in other industries - to work with clients to demystify future opportunities and turn them into actionable next steps in a digital transformation journey.
