Each CCA principal has over twenty years experience working with colleges, universities, schools, and education related organizations. We understand the unique issues facing these organizations.
We are comfortable working in multi-constituency environments and understand the dynamics between and among faculty, staff, students, administration, board and alumni.
We have helped many governing bodies with diverse opinions and ideas come to consensus on difficult issues. The level of board involvement in planning varies from institution to institution. But in every case it is important that boards contribute to the plan and commit to supporting the outcome of the planning effort.
We encourage our client institutions to focus on the future. While we help them acknowledge and address current issues, our overall approach is one of developing common language for the future and identifying effective strategies to move in that direction.
We encourage faculty and administration to ask the "hard" questions and ensure that all perspectives are honored. We help to orchestrate communication in ways that build trust throughout the institution.
We make good use of resources to get the job done both efficiently and effectively, balancing the value and cost of consultant involvement with the ongoing roles and expertise of faculty and staff.
