Consulting

Fresh out of ideas?  Sometimes all you need is another pair of eyes on a problem to give you new pathways to a solution. Assessments of current service challenges can quickly reveal opportunities for improvement.

Need a One Stop or Shared Services? Consulting includes assessment of readiness to integrate services. Planned outcomes can include improving the student user experience, examination of current service levels, staff training in negotiation and brokering service level agreements across offices, and how to report success.

One Stop Phase Two? Consulting includes assessment of your current One Stop to reveal new opportunities for service improvements that may include business process redesign, elimination of forms for paperless processing workflows, reorganization staff roles and responsibilities and use of data mining to provide evidence of success to date.

Need a new perspective? We can help you determine the win-win of a new game plan that can get students working with you on the same team!

Need a Contact Center? Project can include integration of telephony phone service queues across multiple student service offices, as well as training staff new techniques for service delivery integration by phone. Service channels of phone, email, text, chat and social media can be included in the project.

Are your staff stressed and tired? Folks are working very hard but not working smart which is exhausting! Been there. What you need are some management techniques to provide quick relief from the daily grind, and grow enthusiasm for student services again.

Customized contracts range from one quick conversation online to  a long-range plan of multiple meetings by phone or in person – with leadership, with office teams or just coaching one manager. It’s all determined by your needs!
