Case Study: Rollins College achieves real-time, visual tracking of 65 strategic initiatives with StrategyBlocks

Rollins College - Customer Case Study

Rollins College, a private liberal arts institution serving roughly 3,200 students, faced the challenge of turning a newly approved, campus-wide strategic framework into an embedded culture of execution. After President Grant Cornwell’s strategy process produced 65 initiatives and hundreds of milestone activities, the College needed a cost-effective, easy-to-implement, visually appealing tracking solution — and selected StrategyBlocks, an intuitive SaaS platform for strategic planning, management and execution.

StrategyBlocks provided highly visual dashboards, a cascading-metric approach to KPIs, and customizable reporting that let Rollins track all 65 initiatives and roughly 600 milestone activities (4–10 milestones per initiative), monitor start/end dates and percent complete, and give Task Force Chairs and Vice Presidents their own drill-down dashboards. Within six months Rollins was delivering Trustee-ready status updates, improving decision speed and accountability, and streamlining reporting/printing — measurable gains in visibility, execution and institutional agility enabled by StrategyBlocks.
