Strategic Plans are often pro forma documents, which end up on a shelf, unused and ignored. We offer a Strategic Planning process that will engage the larger community, and be tailored to the needs, resources, and aspirations of the institution.
An in-depth analysis of current and potential structures within an educational institution is often best carried out through a process involving an outside viewer. We have over 100 years of University experience at Dinter Consulting, and can work with you on the plan, the implementation and the follow-up.
Board Members, while investing their time, often do now understand their broader role in the life of the institution. We will work with your Board, in an intensive retreat, or over time, to enhance their understanding of the educational enterprise, and their role in serving the institution.
Public institutions, as well as private, are compelled to raise funds from outside sources, be they alumni, foundations, or friends. We will assess your current capacity, and guide the development of this essential resource on your campus.
Dinter Consulting can help provide the bridge between the technical and functional aspects of your work environment. We work to understand business needs and effectively 'translate' them in ways that make it easier for technical staff to envision the desired outcomes that need to be accomplished. Some call this 'business needs communication.'
The concept of a brand extends far beyond a team mascot for educational institutions today. How you are perceived by potential students, their parents, your alumni, and the larger community is important in sustaining enrollment and in fund-raising. We are prepared to work with you to present a consistent, unique view of the institution.
The development of the "people" side of your organization is essential to success in any educational institution. We can help your organization to assess employee motivation, audit your current human resources services, provide ongoing training for managers and line staff and provide solutions for specfic staff issues.
