About StrategyMetrics

XOLAS and Rotterdam School of Management of Erasmus University (RSM) have joined forces in partnership and are providing guidance to business schools on how to meet their challenges for continuous strategic and organisational improvement.

Under this partnership, XOLAS  and RSM developed StrategyMetrics, a benchmarking analysis tool. StrategyMetrics is allowing business schools and universities around the world to utilize rankings and other public data, to clarify their strengths and weaknesses as well as their competitive positioning trajectory.

StrategyMetrics allows business schools to take an evidence-based approach to gain a more nuanced understanding of their comparative performance relative to peer institutions on a national and international level as well as in comparison to business schools reflecting their medium- to longer-term strategic ambitions. Using an open-science approach, the XOLAS/RSM services enable clients to develop customized analytics that permit a more accurate assessment of how change management activities can improve institutional standing, performance of degree programs, as well as faculty development and research productivity.
