Organizational Consulting
I am experienced in leading and collaborating with internal consultants, academics and administrators on a variety of organizational development projects in higher education, academic medicine and industry. These projects have ranged from:
Executive Search Strategies
Consulting with search committee(s) to define purpose and desired process to increase the probability of a successful recruitment in a timely manner.
Faculty Recruitment and Retention Process Improvement
Consulting with Deans, Department Chairs and Senior Administrators regarding Dual Career recruitment needs, opportunities and best practices in higher education.
Faculty and New Administrator On - Boarding
Strategy focused coaching designed to increase the likelihood of a seamless transition into the position, via assessing strengths and learning needs quickly and tailoring one’s style to the culture and internal politics in a successful manner.
Strategic Planning Within Departments and Across Colleges
The consultation and planning process involves exploration of the mission, vision, core values and organizational competencies and assessment of training needs designed to help the department / organization better comprehend the concerns, needs and desired directions of their stakeholders.
Organizational consultation fees range from $125-$150 per hour depending upon the scope of the project. I prefer to create collaborative ongoing working relationships with my clients and find that larger projects (greater than 60 hours) requiring more time commitment and effort are worth the reduced fee.
