Education

We focus on 7 key areas to address any challenge:

1. Strategy: Globalisation, technological change and growing societal expectations are all challenging traditional approaches to strategy. We assess global educational and policy trends and conduct market sizing, financial modelling and competitive analysis to answer your most complex strategic questions and identify market opportunities to be pursued, and the capabilities needed to win.
2. Economic advisory: Changing operating environments and growing societal expectations have intensified the requirement for organisations and policy makers to quantify their impact on and contribution to the economy, and provide a basis for assessing business decisions and policy settings to support decision making. We provide economic advisory services that include economic forecasting, modelling, analysis and advisory services to help our clients to support decision making.
3. Operating model and workforce transformation: Commercial realities, globalisation, and intensified competition have increased focus on service delivery models, leadership and operational performance. We support institutions to shape and execute operating model change through strategic realignment, operational efficiency, cultural transformation and strategic workforce development, including preparedness for the future of work.
