CONSULTING SERVICES

" [JTC] has been instrumental in helping us to advance several important strategic initiatives, providing us with an invaluable road map and helping to identify potential challenges and obstacles." 

What We Offer

STRATEGIC PLANNING 

JTC offers expert guidance to develop strategic plans tailored to your unique needs, ensuring your institution or department is on the path to success.

RETREAT PLANNING & FACILITATION

JTC develops and facilitates planning retreats and meetings, fostering collaboration and innovation among leadership teams, committees, and boards.

DEPARTMENT & PROGRAM REVIEWS 

External review of key programs and initiatives provides invaluable insight that leads to greater effectiveness, increased efficiency, and better student outcomes. JTC conducts program reviews and topic-specific studies, including but not limited to: collecting and evaluating data, benchmarking, topical research, consulting appropriate experts and/or key stakeholders, and preparing and presenting final reports.

FOCUS GROUPS

While quantitative data provides the foundation for understanding institutional performance, qualitative probing is often essential to fully understanding what is driving particular issues or behaviors on campus. JTC leads focus groups – either as part of a large-scale study or to obtain quick, targeted feedback– to help institutions get a more fulsome and nuanced understanding of factors driving a particular question or issue.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT & COMMUNICATIONS

JTC assists with all aspects of crisis management and communications, offering training at all levels to ensure your organization is prepared for any challenge.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS

JTC conducts workshops on a wide range of strategic and management skills to equip your staff with the knowledge and skills they need to excel.

Strategic Partner Program

The Strategic Partner Program (SPP) enables JTC to provide experienced, confidential, senior-level support on a wide range of services in a highly cost-effective way because it is built upon the premise of establishing and maintaining long-term, continuing relationships with client institutions. As a strategic partner, with institutional knowledge and working relationships with on-campus staff, JTC is readily able to carry out long- or short-term projects, deliver valuable real-time crisis response support, help manage staff turnover and transitions, and serve as a valuable thought partner to leaders at all levels of your organization.

A Creative Strategic Thinker

“I have relied on Jim’s professionalism and wisdom for over two decades. He brings a thorough understanding of the full range of challenges and opportunities faced by student development teams. He is a fantastic coach for staff at any level, a creative strategic thinker, and the person you want by your side when you are managing tough crises. Our student development teams are working in environments where the scope and volume of work is increasing at breathtaking speed. Jim can help fill holes and develop long-term plans. In this current environment, we need more former VPs to provide these kinds of services.”
