What makes us different?
We believe that management consulting should be accessible and affordable for all
When leadership of a school or a tuition centre have access to affordable consulting, it helps their product become better and, in the end, helps improve educational experience for their students
Our values-based education pledge
A few principles we follow
No ones likes a second class experience or second class expertise. Our consultancy offers first class management advice and support to all clients – regardless if it is a £50K or a £16M investment.
Research excellency
Often, before we can advise you, we need to look into the data – to analyse the market or audit your school. We will spend days and weeks combing through mountains of data and finding precious insights while you can focus on running your business.
Understanding your business
Back when we started, we made a conscious decision to focus on helping the clients who are working on educational projects. All our consultants and experts have strong educational background and years of experience working in education in different countries and in various capacities.
Extensive set of project planning and impl’t tools
Whether it’s a full layout of your business processes, a contingency plan or a project control plan – we will use all tools at our disposal to help you make right decisions, day after day. RACI Matrix, WBS, VLE, SIMS: whatever these acronyms mean and whether you know them – do not worry, sit back and enjoy the ride while we walk you through.
Intergrity and a holistic view of education
With us you can always be sure that our advice will be in the best interest of your business. We won’t unnecessarily extend your project so that we can charge you more. And since we sincerely care about children , we will never give you advice that is ethically flawed or harmful to your students, your staff or your community.
Feasibility studIES
A classic first step before investing into a new project, our feasibility study usually includes market research, competition analysis, demand forecast, regulatory overview, rent/buy property market analysis and curriculum/academic options.
SCHOOL AUDITS
It’s often a first step before developing a new school concept – analysing educational business through a mixture of methods: interviews with all groups of stakeholders, lesson and other school events observations, document analysis, online presence test
EDUCATIONAL CONCEPTS
We are often asked to develop a new educational concept for existing schools – because times change and schools have to keep up with ever changing educational landscape and be able to successfully compete with their rivals
StrategIES & Business PlanS
At this step we will help you define your strategy, develop the educational concept, prepare a project charter, create a financial model, shape your business processes and work together on all aspects of your business plan.
implementation SUPPORT
Once you ready to move forward with your business plan, we will offer you ongoing support with fine-tuning your strategy and your plans to real life challenges, possible complications and unexpected developments, helping you to adapt as you go and providing training programs, mentoring and coaching support for you
INTERIOR DESIGNS
With new schools opening almost daily, attractive and functional interior design becomes a necessity – which our architects and interior designers are happy to provide, working alongside educators and school practitioners, in a joint team environment
