Abstract
Universities often experience the Mobility Paradox, a situation where receiving more global opportunities causes staff to spend more time managing paperwork, emails, and data entry. As a result, staff have less time for meaningful relationship building and strategic partner engagement. To address these challenges, this poster presents a 5-stage framework to overcome five core pain points: Information Overload and Scattered Data, Promotional Fatigue and Lack of Priority, Opportunity Mismatch between Faculty and Students, Fragmented Partnership Tracking, and Staff Burnout with a Lack of Strategic Insights. The 5-stage framework illustrates the essential roles of AI and humans during opportunity intake, opportunity matching, strategic promotion, partnership tracking, and evaluation & planning. In each stage, the outputs include prioritized mobility program intelligence, tailored program intelligence matched with needs, a multi-tier promotion plan, a Partnership Intelligence Matrix, and data-based strategic plans. Together, these outputs work as an ecosystem to support efficient mobility workflows, increase student participation diversity, optimize time management for different mobility priorities, encourage faculty synergies with partners, and guide future partnership expansion for sustainability.Learning Objectives
