From Concept to Reality: Start-Ups That Make Sense
Focusing on your mission and your resources, this program emphasizes the critical elements of a successful beginning to your project. We will then prioritize and strategize for the longer term to ensure that what begins will continue to flourish, in the direction of your choice.

Making the Case for a Girls' School
What do girls need to make the most of their options in life? Expanding upon the existing data, we use brain research, understandings of the psychosocial issues, and growing sentiment regarding classroom configurations and curriculum models to educate a community about the need for single-sex options.

Mission-Driven Admissions and Marketing
We revisit the mission of the organization to ask and answer some key questions: Who do we say we are? Who are we in reality? What do we do best? How have we defined and promoted our organization within our market? Using the answers, we work on confirming or redefining our identity and discuss how best to put that forward to the constituencies we serve.

Finding the Cutting Edge:
Redefining the Organization in a Changing Market
Whether the analysis is motivated by stagnation or perceived loss of market, every organization must look within regularly to discover the niche it serves and to decide if that is the role it would choose. We will look at ways to modify direction and momentum, and whether change makes sense.
