Strategic Planning Approach
Our planning approach typically encompasses a series of onsite retreats and optional focus groups over a six to eight month period, culminating in the development of your strategic plan and action plan for implementation in the coming school year. The resulting plan will provide recommendations for the ongoing development by maximizing your school’s strengths, anticipating challenges, reducing weaknesses, and developing proactive strategies to improve your school’s performance. All of which can be customized to your requirements and pricing. Provided below is an overview of the stages of our planning approach. Stages 1 and 2 complete an analysis of the current structure and operation of the Catholic schools in the school and identify the key issues to be addressed. Stages 3 to 5 define the recommendations for development of long- and short-term goals and objectives to enable your school to best accomplish your mission for the next five to ten years.
