Our
Focal Areas of Support

Leadership Development

Leaders bear the weight of decision making, but they don’t have to do it alone. We provide development and thought partnership through critical times in leadership. This includes one : one consultation or strategic planning efforts with leadership teams.

Contract and Vendor Management

Projects and vendors are not created equally. Contract negotiations with high dollar amounts or new vendors require expertise to navigate conversations to ensure the organization’s best interests are considered. Our team supports proposal development and review, evaluation support and oversight of the negotiation process.

Data Analysis

Data can be overwhelming. Dissecting the main idea and next steps can be a time consuming process. Lean on the expertise of our team to deconstruct the data and inform reasonable next steps. We help define goals that are reasonable and achievable for your students.

Implementation

Many create goals, but often these are not achieved. A plan includes the key stakeholders and milestones to deliver success of the project. We can help define the road map to support the path forward from point A to point B.
