Why You Need A Roadmap To Make Every Pilot Count AI initiatives have moved from experimental projects to critical components of competitive strategy. Many organizations launch pilots, yet only a small fraction achieve meaningful enterprise-wide impact. The difference lies in having a clear AI strategy roadmap that guides efforts from isolated projects to coordinated, scalable programs. According to McKinsey’s 2025 global survey, nearly two-thirds of organizations remain stuck in early experimentation stages, and fewer than 40% report measurable enterprise-wide results from their AI programs. These statistics highlight the challenge of translating initial success into lasting business value. Organizations often make…

Community college baccalaureate degrees tend to earn graduates more than associate degrees but less than bachelor’s degrees from traditional four-year colleges, with substantial variation by field, according to recent research highlighted by the Brookings Institute in a brief released Tuesday. The report, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research earlier this year, drew on data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Postsecondary Employment Outcomes program, which includes 10 of the 24 states that allow community college baccalaureate degrees, tracking earnings outcomes for about 13,000 community college baccalaureate graduates one year after graduation. The analysis found that community college baccalaureate degrees…

Asked to name famous ship­wrecks at a bar triv­ia night, a fair few par­tic­i­pants might think imme­di­ate­ly of Pearl Har­bor, whether or not they can recall that it was the USS Ari­zona bombed there. More firm­ly with­in liv­ing mem­o­ry sits the SS Andrea Doria, though she’s hard­ly the cul­tur­al ref­er­ence she used to be. The wreck of the SS Edmund Fitzger­ald passed its fifti­eth anniver­sary just last year, which gave a boost to its remem­brance, if most­ly by Gor­don Light­foot fans. There is, of course, the Endurance, though the ship her­self has always been over­shad­owed by the efforts of her cap­tain to…

More than a year into President Donald Trump’s second term, federal courts continue to be a key forum for college and university advocates to stymie the president’s flood-the-zone attack against higher education, but the challengers’ strategies have evolved. The Trump administration has backed off in some of the cases while going on the offensive against some colleges with lawsuits of its own. One legal expert expects to see more targeted challenges as plaintiffs and the government learn from this first round of litigation. In the last year, higher ed advocates have notched a number of victories against the Trump administration,…

Get stories like this delivered straight to your inbox. Sign up for The 74 Newsletter Three years ago, schools took a side. Within weeks of ChatGPT’s release, hard rules appeared almost overnight. AI tools were banned throughout departments. Teachers watched what seemed like an existential threat materialize in real time, and they responded the way institutions usually do under pressure: They drew a line and told everyone not to cross it. Three years later, that line is still there. And at many places, nobody ever asked whether it should be, at least not the people most affected by it. When…

I regularly meet with a group of students from across the state, representing all five campuses in the University of Tennessee system. I like to use these conversations for a pulse check to understand what’s on their minds and what they’re experiencing on campus in real time. Recently, we talked about mental health and AI. Many students shared broad concerns about AI like ethical issues and fears of environmental impact, but a few comments stood out in ways that genuinely surprised me. One student told me that ChatGPT was “better” than any therapist they had ever seen: more supportive, more…

Key points: As children, we play hide-and-seek. There is a kind of logic to it: If you cannot see me, then I cannot see you. As adults, and sometimes as leaders, we can fall into a similar pattern. We act as if not seeing a problem somehow makes it less real, or as if avoiding it allows everything to remain fine. In schools, that mindset can be especially damaging. We often hear words like transparency, trust, and psychological safety used in meetings and professional conversations. They appear in strategic plans, mission statements, and vision statements. These are the right words.…
