K&A’s consultants have worked with more than 350 institutions—but what makes us uniquely qualified is not just that experience. We’ve “been there,” on campus like you are—celebrating or coping, building or just breathing. We adjust to fit the times and the context (short-term or long-term, in-depth or more focused) but always delivering results. And we’ve “been there” through the great recession, COVID, and administrative crises.
VISION AND STRATEGY
We specialize in guiding and facilitating forward-looking, change-oriented processes to establish institutional vision, direction, and priorities. Our results always blend aspirations with practical steps and achievable goals along a clear pathway forward. We have a strong track record of aligning implementation plans with strategic purposes.
REVIEWS
Sustainability is today’s big challenge. We assess your institution’s or program’s current structure, leadership, activities, operations, functions, infrastructure, resources, and outcomes. We evaluate your readiness to respond to forthcoming challenges or meet future needs.
PRE-PLACEMENT REVIEWS
Let us help you prepare for a leadership transition with a pre-placement review of your unit’s structure, operations, policies, and procedures. This process identifies priorities and challenges, ensuring your new leader is not only well-suited but also perfectly aligned with your institution’s unique needs.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EXECUTIVE COACHING SERVICES
We help support the growth and success of leaders in higher education. Our executive coaching services are often embedded within our executive search, vision and strategy, review, assessment, and accreditation projects—or offered as independent solutions.
EXECUTIVE SEARCH SERVICES
Our consulting and executive search services share a common purpose, to improve outcomes for students and institutions. One of the most important steps toward change for learning is securing strong leaders. Our distinctive executive search approach brings you exceptional professionals whose talent, management skill, ability to create inclusive programs, and commitment to higher learning puts students first.
