Strategic Clarity for Higher Ed Leadership

Higher Education Leadership Intelligence is for presidents, provosts, CIOs, and institutional decision-makers leading through enrollment, funding, and tech disruption.

It is a publication of The Intelligence Council, a next-gen B2B media and business intelligence platform built for people who make strategy, allocate capital and carry operating risk.

Most B2B media has ceded independent analysis to sponsored narratives. If the content is “free,” the product is often the reader.

We are built for decision support. Our model is driven by individual and group subscriptions, enterprise access plans, and select strategic partnerships.

We publish weekly executive digests, deep-dive analysis, periodic intelligence briefs, and rapid response intelligence for people in the arena.

Executives read us because our work sharpens capital allocation, strengthens risk management, and improves competitive positioning.

We collaborate selectively with organizations that value independent analysis and long-term credibility.


We offer three subscription tiers for individual subscribers:

  1. ‘Free’ tier for those with general in the higher ed landscape from the institutional perspective. Our must-read weekly signal briefs, and periodically other high-impact content.

  2. ‘Paid’ tier for existing institutional leaders and those on a path to leadership. Weekly deep dives that challenge conventional thinking and inform internal conversations.

  3. ‘Premium’ tier for cabinet-level leaders and trustees who want to stay in the loop. Our flagship intelligence briefs and institutional case studies and benchmarks.

‘Paid’ and ‘Premium’ licenses for individual use, as well as ‘Paid’ licenses for groups of 5+ may be purchased right here on Substack.

We offer institutional and group licenses:
