Why CCA for Education and Research Institutions?

Each CCA principal has over 20 years of experience. Having worked with many schools, 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.

Throughout our work, 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.

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.

Help governing bodies with diverse opinions and ideas to 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.

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.
