THE ANATOMY OF AN OPM
OPM Scenarios for 2030 #1. PPP OLIGOPOLY
The OPM sector matures, develops as an industry standard and spawns professional bodies.
A few OPM giants dominate the market, consolidating a long-tail of smaller sub-scale operators. Eventually, global giants like publishers and technology companies in turn acquire OPM’s, offering a deeper and broader suite of services to universities.
#2. UNIVERSITY NETWORK
University networks form to develop centralized public alternatives to OPM services.
Drawing on existing university or disciplinary alliances and networks (e.g. Ivy League, Asian University Alliance, Universitas 21, Russell Group) universities and colleges team up to build their own specialist ‘network-insource’ services.
#3. OPM UNBUNDLING
The OPM market is highly competitive, with many providers delivering mostly fee for service and increasingly commoditized offerings.
Universities maintain control over the value chain and key activities, resist bundled options and partner with many providers offering specialist services.
#4. UNIVERSITY D.I.Y
Universities build their own in-house capabilities by developing new internal OPM-like service functions and hiring staff from OPM providers.
Upfront capital required is re-routed from new building works as university online income continues to grow. OPM market growth slows as skills transfer happens across the sector.

While there are a range of views on the shape that the OPM market might take over the next 10 years, there are also emerging trends providing directional signals, which have been shaped into 4 OPM Scenarios for 2030.
We are collecting expert views on the likelihood of each of these four scenarios and would greatly appreciate your perspective. It only takes 1 minute. Visit bit.ly/opm2030.
Our initial scenarios are based on two of the most discussed OPM dimensions.
First, will Universities embrace the OPM and continue to ’outsource’ the capabilities and resources OPMs offer, or will they seek to build those capabilities in-house and manage the entire online spectrum over the long-run?
Second, will online higher education consolidate towards an oligopoly of global giants, akin to the broader technology sector or are we more likely see a highly disbursed and fragmented market of ‘suppliers’ that represent vendor relationships more than partnerships?
This first round of feedback will inform a second iteration of 4 OPM Scenarios for 2030.

THE ANATOMY OF AN OPM
Global OPM Market Size
While universities are developing their own online learning capabilities, OPM’s with full-service-fully integrated offerings maintain a strong value proposition.
Alternatively, and the trend we see currently in the market, OPM’s can choose to offer unbundled, fee for service models, picking up those institutions who just need to plug gaps in their expertise or solve specific problems.
There seem to be a number of paths to growth for OPM’s, including the organic growth of online HE enrolment, services to corporate partners who wish to take training online, geographical expansion into other markets with the inevitable acceptance of online learning, and horizontal integration of services such as coaching, enrolment, recruitment, retention and career services.

The size of the global OPM market stands at $3b+ with 60+ OPMs worldwide. An increasing acceptance of online learning sees more universities launching online degrees, with the OPM market expected to reach $7.7b by 2025.
