The HIVE Sprint Diagnostic enables universities to conduct a structured self-evaluation of their strategic performance and territorial impact using the HIVE framework. Over a 4- to 6-week process, institutional teams receive methodological training, complete standardized questionnaires, and develop an analytical self-report, accompanied by guided feedback from Unnivers.

This service combines the flexibility of internal work with the support of an internationally recognized methodology. It allows universities to identify their economic, systemic, and social value, highlight how they contribute to the development of their surrounding communities, and establish priorities for continuous improvement. In addition to being a diagnostic tool, it strengthens the culture of evaluation and accountability, fosters collaboration between academic and administrative areas, and generates evidence for strategic planning and institutional communication.

Its low cost and collaborative approach make it the ideal first step for institutions seeking to prepare for certified evaluations or accreditation processes, while simultaneously reinforcing their positive impact on society.

Why implement it?

Because the HIVE offers what no ranking or accreditation can: a tangible measurement of the university’s true strategic value to the economy and society.
It transcends the logic of reputation to highlight the institution’s true role as an economic, social, and cultural engine of the region.

In a context where the legitimacy of universities is measured by their capacity to generate impact, not just knowledge, the HIVE becomes the tool that translates academic contribution into evidence of development.

What weakness does it address?

  • International rankings (THE, QS, ARWU) reflect prestige, but not transformative impact.

  • Governments and donors demand verifiable indicators to demonstrate how educational investment translates into public value.

  • There are no integrated metrics that simultaneously measure innovation, employment, territorial cohesion, and sustainability.

Implementing HIVE means transforming knowledge into the new capital of the territory: measurable, communicable, and sustainable.
