Aligning People, Processes, and Information to Drive Transformative Change

Besides facilitating multi-year institutional strategic plans, we help universities examine current models and explore opportunities to diversify curricula, modalities, and revenues, such as through online and open learning and corporate partnerships. Attracting new students through innovative programs and alternative revenue sources can help grow institutions’ financial positions over time.

  • Academic portfolio optimization
  • New program development and curricula modalities
  • Comprehensive online strategy
  • Executive and professional education strategy
  • Sustainable corporate partnerships
