This paper examines how institutions can develop that capacity and determine the extent to which institutions are different. It defines transformation, describes types of evidence, presents a framework for determining evidence, suggests strategies for collecting evidence, and identifies challenges to determining progress.This article is published Open Access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0): https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Higher EducationPolicy and Administrationhigher educationchangeassessmentleadershipCurriculum and InstructionEducationEducational Assessment, Evaluation, and ResearchEducational LeadershipHigher EducationHigher Education AdministrationArticle
