Synopsis

The most successful colleges and universities share a common advantage: they've become experts at the art of strategic partnership. They don't just manage vendors; they build relationships that multiply institutional capacity, advance mission, and deliver measurable results. Priority Partners: Turning Vendor Spending into Mission Strength shows every leader how to do the same.

Grounded in the Priority Partners Framework™, this book gives higher education leaders a practical model for transforming vendor spending into strategic leverage. The framework distinguishes among Vendors, Partners, and Priority Partners, and shows leaders exactly how to cultivate relationships that belong in that top tier.

Featuring contributions from experts across institutional effectiveness, finance, IT, and the provider community, Priority Partners covers the full arc of strategic partnership: building trust and co-shaping outcomes, making collaboration measurable through data and evidence, and scaling what works across the institution. Real-world examples and actionable frameworks make every chapter immediately applicable.

Senior leaders, governing boards, and providers will find the frameworks, examples, and mindsets to lead strategically in an era where partnerships define institutional success.
