Meet the Speakers

2023 The Creativity and Innovation 2-Part Workshop Series: Cultivating New Social Practices to Drive Change

Howard Teibel, President, Teibel Education Consulting

Howard Teibel is the founder of Teibel Education Consulting. For three decades, Howard and his team have worked with higher education leaders to confront their toughest challenges as they envision how to define – and redefine – the value of a 21st century education.

With the confluence of accelerating technology, external economic forces, demographic shifts, and the questioning of the value of higher education, Teibel asserts the answer lives in learning to build a culture of shared commitment among the academy, administrators, and their boards. One thing is certain: education in 2030 will look and feel different from today. Teibel’s mission is to break down the old fiefdoms -- The academy versus the administration -- to work across divisions and develop leaders who will step up to innovate and re-create education.

As a public speaker and writer for numerous higher education associations, Howard contributes to the national discourse on emerging trends facing education. His 10-year podcast Navigating Change brings together practitioners who innovate how teams in academia and business work together. Teibel worked on the cluster redesign initiative with President Don Birx of Plymouth State University and is a contributor to their book titled: Redesigning Higher Education: Systemic Integration and Cluster Based Learning.

His team consults on strategic planning initiatives, being exceptional teams, and conducts a nation-wide program for emerging leaders in education. Teibel’s client roster includes University of Colorado, California State University, Loyola University, Princeton University, Rutgers University, Brown School of Public Health, Georgia Institute of Technology, and many others.

Howard is a graduate of University of Binghamton and long-time student of many modalities of personal growth including the language action theory of Dr. Fernando Flores and the transformation work of the Hoffman Institute. He is also a co-founder of Fathers Forever, an organization dedicated to creating fellowship among men who have experienced the death of a child.
