As Center programs are established, with the amount of minutia details, blocking and tackling day-to-day issues, teams start marching to a tactical beat that becomes a norm. Sometimes, you may lose the forest for the trees. It is important to step back from time to time, get independent experienced mentors to help you think strategically about how to expand and make your Center even more efficient, how and when to increase program quality, increase future enrollment, tuition increases, lower costs, consider value-added services, etc.
Engagement:
This includes a one to two hour session every quarter to review key business operations, business measurement ratios, progress, and new challenges from the last quarter. We will also define/refine strategic topics and potential actions for the next quarter.
