Higher Education Management Monitoring (HEM)

The HEM Monitoring is a digital analysis tool for higher education management. With the help of the HEM Monitoring, the institution’s management can form a snapshot of the institution’s activities and development needs, which forms the basis for strategic planning and transformations. Also, the management can conduct follow-up evaluations to ensure progress on the strategic transformation.  

The HEM Monitoring includes digital self-evaluation tool for the management group. We offer additional consultation services for the strategic process to ensure effective transformation.
