room to grow.

Six pillars. A stronger institution.
Explore the building blocks of an entrepreneurial
and innovative higher education institution.
Strategy
Set a shared direction.
Environment
Create the conditions to thrive.
Partnership
Connect knowledge and opportunity.
Pedagogy
Inspire entrepreneurial learning.
Implementation
Turn ambition into action.
Impact
Learn from the difference you make.
Reflection is just the beginning.
Take it at your own pace, individually or with a group.
The best insights start with an honest conversation.
Discover
Read the rubric so that everyone taking part shares the same understanding of the scores.
Reflect
Individually or in groups, work through the six pillars, scoring each statement and recording comments and supporting evidence.
Engage
Discuss results, explore why scores differ, and agree priorities. Save separate faculty or unit assessments and compare their charts.
Plan
Use the summary and action plan to translate the assessment into prioritised, resourced actions.
Act
Implement, monitor, and repeat the self-assessment annually to track progress.
A shared understanding
of every score.
Use the same rubric for each statement. Choose the stage that best reflects your institution today, supported by evidence where possible.
This is a reflection tool.
A low score is a starting point for progress. The results support learning and planning, rather than an institutional ranking.
No formal strategy or activities. Entrepreneurial practices ad hoc or absent. Limited awareness or engagement.
Some initiatives exist but are fragmented. Limited leadership support or resources. Early-stage stakeholder engagement.
Clear intent and some structured activities. Leadership is supportive. Policies and partnerships forming. Moderate engagement.
Entrepreneurship embedded in strategy and operations. Strong leadership and governance. Active stakeholder engagement. Measurable outcomes.
Institution-wide integration. Strategic alignment with national and continental goals. High impact, continuous improvement, external recognition.
Use only when a statement does not apply. Add a reason in the comments. N/A is excluded from averages; an activity that does not yet exist should usually score 1.
Leave with more than a score.
A clear institutional profile
See your six pillars in a radar chart, with the detail behind every dimension.
A practical action plan
