Comments on: Lifecycle Engagement Platform℠: A New Category in Higher Ed http://blog.inigral.com/lifecycle-engagement-platform-a-new-category-in-higher-ed/ Our thoughts on social technology in higher education. Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:51:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Etrondsen http://blog.inigral.com/lifecycle-engagement-platform-a-new-category-in-higher-ed/comment-page-1/#comment-3300 Etrondsen Fri, 24 Jun 2011 20:04:00 +0000 http://blog.inigral.com/?p=1457#comment-3300 The post, and comments, are over a year old, so what has happened since? I think the concept is great and I am very curious whether this is something that is gaining traction in the education community. And if it is an important "white space" in the "education IT stack", are other players--existing or startups--agreeing and pursuing it? Look forward to hearing your comments, Michael. And, by the way, I just saw the video of the Education Innovation Summit, and greatly enjoyed it. The post, and comments, are over a year old, so what has happened since? I think the concept is great and I am very curious whether this is something that is gaining traction in the education community. And if it is an important “white space” in the “education IT stack”, are other players–existing or startups–agreeing and pursuing it? Look forward to hearing your comments, Michael.

We haven't yet been able to truly focus on the alumni interface, though it does have some limited use cases already. We'll keep you up to date! Thanks for your thoughts and for checking in. Best, Michael Hi Andy,

The "constituent lifecycle" approach has been in place in higher ed for many years, and has several variants ("volunteer lifecycle," "donor lifecycle," etc.). This is the first time I've seen it described in terms of a platform within an institution's technology stack. It would be really interesting to discuss who would design which aspects of this. The non-IT folks (like us alumni directors) would have insight into user behaviors and engagement trends on the front end. On many campuses, however, it would be difficult for their input to make its way into the specs and product engineered by the IT experts from the back end. But if it worked...it would be an excellent step forward. Interesting outlook on an important topic.
