How to Value Accreditation - with Manuela Brusoni, Christina Green & Claire Thouary

For many institutions, accreditations prove to be a real burden associated with bureaucratic, time-consuming tasks and a very costly investment. As for any strategic project, costs are part of the deal. Direct costs (budget) and indirect ones (time) are inevitable to make it a success. However, it would be underestimating the leverage of accreditations to think that obtaining them consists only in investing a lot of money for a short-term reward. Accreditations rhyme with “value creation”. Indeed, they act as quality instruments and offer a balanced assessment of the institution’s strengths and improvement opportunities. Value is created within the institution itself but also through its international outreach. Once the accreditations are granted, it then becomes fundamental to implement strategies for long-term improvement rather than only targeting short-term goals. This webinar mainly aims at showing how the benefits outweigh the necessary costs induced by the accreditation process. For that reason, we will not only focus on legitimacy benefits but also on performance ones. Embracing quality as a habit and increasing performance at the same time guarantee a sustainable development.
