The evolving landscapes of academia and non-profit organizations make it more difficult to handle daily operations while also planning strategically to identify, forecast, and manage future trends.  Often an institution's effectiveness is related to its ability to market itself and its strategic plan and goals.  Strategic planning and measurement of effectiveness also occurs within a shifting political, technological, and social environment that can significantly affect institutional outcomes.


Frequently external observers can better assist leadership teams as they establish strategic plans and identify modes of assessment within specific political and social environments. We offer expertise built on experience, best practices, and diverse perspectives based on many years of experience and award-winning methods.
