Higher education is entering its Green Ledger moment: a shift where long‑standing practices give way to new structures that AI makes possible. This guide gives presidents, provosts, and academic leaders a concise, practical framework for recognizing legacy work, identifying structural bottlenecks, and redesigning processes so people can focus on judgment, context, and human value.
Inside, you’ll learn the Three Signals that reveal when a practice is ready for redesign, the five domains where pressure appears first, and the imitation → displacement → redesign sequence that shows how structures evolve. You’ll also get a 60‑day plan leaders can use to evaluate policies, evidence structures, and workflows across any academic unit.
Use this guide to create clarity, reduce friction, and redesign work for a world where some practices won’t get faster with AI—they’ll simply stop needing to be done at all.
This guide is shared widely with presidents, provosts, accreditation teams, and AI‑policy task forces. Feel free to distribute it internally.
