Our Areas of Practice:

Defining Strategy

University Consulting's approach to strategic planning engages the organization's members without making undue demands on their time and energy. UCTS employs a variety of methods including short and long sessions, large and small groups, face-to-face dialogue and enabling technology. Drawing from these options, a process is designed that fits the specific needs of each client and results in a plan that is integrated into the life of the organization.

Facilitating Change

Attending to people, processes and technology, University Consulting uses an integrated approach that leads to sustainable change. This approach identifies the forces that necessitate change, helps the organization create a model that responds to these forces, and aligns the organization's members and leadership in implementing the plan through shared commitment.

Developing Leaders

Through coaching and training, UCTS helps leaders establish and cultivate relationships of trust, communicate the vision of the organization and remove barriers to success. The UCTS approach builds an enduring set of skills to guide organizations through challenges both today and in the future.

Enhancing Performance

UCTS consultants conduct comprehensive organization assessments that identify key leverage points to enhance and sustain high levels of performance. They look for what's working and build on it to develop a plan that produces immediate results. UCTS also offers a number of targeted and highly interactive training programs and workshops that build capacity within client organizations.
