During this phase, I sit down with key decision makers, get to know the institution, and bring in as much information as I can in order to analyze and most effectively create the necessary steps we’ll need to move toward the institution’s goal.
After the initial consultation, we’ll discuss a full list of necessities and the overall vision for the institution. This ensures we’re all on the same page moving forward so that we can best reach our goals.
Each plan is customized for your educational institution and what necessities it requires based on the goals we’re looking to achieve. No two plans are created exactly the same just like no two institutions are.
