STRATEGIC PLANNING SUPPORT

Our approach to start-up and long term strategic planning enables schools and organisations to remain fully focused on their objectives, while responding confidently to changing circumstances that are beyond their control.

Over the past 20 years we have made decisions in some difficult circumstances as school leaders and advisers – for example during the South East Asian currency crisis of 1997 and after the banking crisis of 2008. Drawing on our experience of “interesting times”, we can facilitate your planning to enable you to establish long term direction, while preparing for the unexpected.

Mission and vision, however, are both unchanging.
