About US
More than three decades of work at smaller institutions has convinced us of how important these institutions are. If they are to continue their important work, we need to think about their future in a different way.
01. Strategic
There are no “ordinary” decisions. Every decision is a choice which should be contextualized by your strategic goals. “We’ve always done it that way” is not strategic. Neither is “we’ve never done it that way.”
02. Partner-centered
Effective partnerships are relational, not transactional. Identfying partners with common experiences and shared values is essential to long-term and meaningful relationships.
03. Transformational
Transformation is a fundamental reimagining of what we do and how we do it. It changes the ways we think about ourselves and the ways we act.
