Strategic Governance

Governing your institution strategically starts at the top of the organization...and the bottom…and everywhere else. We can help your Board learn to govern strategically, focusing on high-level policy and the measurement of key areas of institutional performance. And we can work with your whole institution to determine what internal governance and management structures and systems for collaboration, communication, and decision-making will serve it most effectively. We help boards of trustees, senior administrators, faculty and staff understand their domains of authority and roles in a sound system of shared governance. Our experienced consultants can help your institution improve its capacity for making big strategic decisions effectively and quickly, as required by a rapidly-changing marketplace.

Testimonials

Stevens Strategy involved the entire community in this endeavor. John and Brendan had the abilities to recognize where the working groups were at and move them along; to perceive what was strategic and what was not; to stay focused and to turn documents around quickly. The ease with which they work with all different kinds of people and their availability are among their strengths. I would not hesitate for a minute to hire Stevens Strategy again. I know that they did a marvelous job for Barry University. They were professional, adaptable, and flexible but most of all they delivered the product. I would recommend them to anyone! I so enjoyed working with both of you! In fact, I even miss you! Thank you for all you did for Barry to position it to move more strategically into the future. You helped to create that future through your knowledge and facilitation. For that and for you, I will always be grateful.
