New learning models. Structural reforms. AI-powered everything. Vendor pitches that promise growth, efficiency, and transformation. Across colleges and universities, leaders are surrounded by solutions. Yet the same problems persist: declining enrollment, rising costs, political pressure, and eroding public trust.
What if the real problem isn’t a lack of solutions? What if it's how decisions get made under pressure?
In The Solution Trap, higher education strategist Dr. Brian Fleming exposes a hidden pattern behind many of the most expensive and disappointing decisions in higher education. Drawing on decades of experience advising colleges and universities, Fleming shows how smart, well-intentioned leaders repeatedly get pulled toward the wrong solutions—not because they’re careless, but because of three powerful lures that shape decision-making:
Urgency: The pressure to act before clarity emergesImitation: Taking inspiration from what succeeded elsewhere.
Survival: Choosing what feels safest in times of uncertaintyThese shortcuts feel responsible in the moment—until you’re explaining a failed initiative, a stalled program launch, or a multi-million-dollar mistake to your board.
Through vivid case studies and practical frameworks, The Solution Trap offers a way out.
