The Innovation Forge Podcast

Data, marketing, and strategy converge to shape the future of Higher Education through Adaptive Enrollment Management. Whether you’re an enrollment manager, an ed tech professional, or someone excited about shaping the future of higher education, this podcast is your new workshop for forward-thinking ideas. We’ll be running two main types of episodes. First, From the Foundry, where I’ll read unabridged chapters from my book, The Innovation Forge. Think of it as your personal audiobook session—no subscription or separate download needed. In each reading, we’ll explore the principles of scoring systems, predictive modeling, and adaptive enrollment management, that can transform how institutions understand, recruit, and craft their incoming class. In the second type of episode we’ll have interviews featuring innovative leaders and artisans in data, marketing, admissions, and even specialized platforms like Slate. These ‘Visiting Artisans’ are the people actively reshaping traditional practices, and together we’ll hammer out insights you can bring back to your institution or organization. We’ll talk about real-world applications, success stories, and challenges, all while highlighting the practical strategies that spark true innovation. Join me as we explore Adaptive Enrollment Management in The Innovation Forge Podcast.
