Comprehensive Facilitation of the Policy Manual Preparation Process

We also provide a comprehensive facilitation service during Policy Manual preparation for an additional fee. As part of the facilitation service, Stevens Strategy representatives schedule regular bi-weekly on-campus visits, meeting with school representatives and campus governance bodies to ensure that national best practices are thoroughly considered and time-lines for the drafting process are adhered to. While off-site, Stevens Strategy representatives are in constant communication with your institution to determine areas that need most of our facilitation attention. Our campus visits focus on areas that need the most support to complete the drafts effectively.

Our comprehensive facilitation service is included with the Faculty Governance Policy Development product. And our Faculty Governance Policy Development service is included in the Institution-Wide Policy Development and Facilitation products but can be purchased separately depending on the individual needs of the institution.
