We are intimately familiar with the three A's of higher education: affordability, accessibility and accountability.

According to The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, since 2008, "43 states have implemented cuts to public colleges and universities and/or made large increases in college tuition to make up for insufficient state funding." This is but one of the many challenges facing universities today.

Our team, based in Pensacola, FL and Cleveland, OH, works nationally with university presidents, boards and management teams to solve challenges associated with budget constraints, collegiate restructuring, disengaged communities, reputational damages, organizational silos and loss of strategic direction. We also specialize in change management through executive transitions - ensuring a successful first 100 days and beyond.

We demonstrate a track record of success partnering with institutions of higher education – facilitating transformations from good to great. Our customized process called Branding from the Core® ensures clients achieve sustainable competitive advantage, build more capable organizations, and produce lasting measurable results.

Our multi-phased change process is grounded in decades of proven research in Identity Dynamics, Whole Systems Change and Appreciative Inquiry. Through facilitated dialogue sessions, qualitative and quantitative research, extensive analysis, strategic brand development, creative execution, staff training and empowerment - we produce measurable results that align perception and performance to secure a lasting reputation.
