OUR HIGHER EDUCATION CONSULTING SERVICES

The higher education industry is undergoing changes never before seen in colleges and universities. Driven by COVID; current and projected steep declines in enrollment, and especially in international students; technology, and the cost and perceived lack of value of obtaining a college education, higher education institutions are being forced to deal with revolutionary change well before it was expected.

These changes require higher education institutions to think deeply about how they operate.

On top of deep higher education consulting experience, we leverage our international, cross-industry experience to help you overcome your most challenging issues in the areas of:

OUR APPROACH TO HIGHER EDUCATION CONSULTING

Holistic Thinking is Key

Our approach to higher education consulting is to remove barriers to success, build collaboration, and ensure institutional communication and systems align which result in a shared vision that can be implemented with little resistance to change. In other words, we approach things holistically with a systemic view of your institution.

Systemic problems require holistic thinking to solve them. Cross-disciplinary thinking. Experience from multiple industries that have already confronted and solved these problems. And this type of thinking enables identifications of root causes that must be changed to make your solutions sustainable.

It’s analogous to pulling weeds out of your garden. Unless you get the roots, the weed always comes back.

Determining what is important and critical versus what is nice to have. Focusing on outcomes versus processes. More precisely, changing how you think about the issues and their solutions. Because as the saying goes, “We cannot solve problems with the same thinking we used to create them.”

In essence, our approach to higher education consulting helps you solve your challenges holistically, rooting out the weeds that have held you back, and eliminating the unintended consequences, and enabling you to build the shared vision necessary to get the outcomes and results you want and need.

Your students, faculty, and employees deserve nothing less.
