SOCIETĀS INTERNATIONALIZATION ASSESSMENT
Stop guessing. Get diagnostic clarity on where your internationalization gaps are so you can make confident, strategic decisions.
You need facts, not hunches. Our Assessment reveals the structural, cultural, and operational dynamics determining whether your global strategy succeeds or stalls.
We pinpoint where investments yield returns, which partnerships to prioritize, and how to align your institution around measurable outcomes.
What's Holding Your Institution Back?
Senior leaders face the same barriers preventing international strategies from gaining traction.
Misaligned Strategy
Borrowed playbooks that don't fit your mission, culture, or demographics.
Bureaucratic Gridlock
Silos and slow approvals killing momentum on promising projects.
Diluted Resources
Dozens of low-ROI partnerships while high-impact opportunities go unfunded.
Faculty Disengagement
Faculty see internationalization as 'admin work' disconnected from their careers.
Our Diagnostic Framework: The 55-Indicator System
We evaluate your institution using our proprietary Societās Internationalization Indicators—a research-based framework measuring 55 specific data points across three pillars.
1. Institutional Capacity & Culture
(The "People")
Do your faculty and staff have the skills and incentives to champion global work—or are they set up to fail?
2. Structural Readiness & Resources
(The "Pipes")
Do your systems enable speed and manage risk—or bury you in red tape?
3. Leadership & Governance
(The "Power")
Does your leadership have unified vision, governance structures, and political capital to sustain momentum?
