assessment + advice

Sound analysis sometimes calls for discretion, diplomacy, and critical distance surrounding community consensus, team dynamics, or leadership styles. And solid advice often springs from experience, both broad and deep, about how other schools, colleges, and nonprofits before you have risen to the kinds of challenges, changes, and curveballs you face right now.

 

The Crane + Peters team can look at your questions from all these angles, listen with real human empathy, think with keen strategic engagement, and marry our respectful objectivity with your intimate familiarity. Together, we’ll find the best answers–not just to your questions, but also for your community.

Maybe you need a tightly focused study of your social media approach, communications plan, or admissions funnel sequence. Or perhaps you’re looking for a comprehensive audit of your entire institution. In any case, we can help.

We also offer coaching—for individuals, teams, or whole communities—to improve internal and interpersonal communications, promote teamwork, resolve conflict, and highlight shared values and missions. And our change management processes—supporting organizations through leadership transitions, structural shifts, or rollout of new policies and programs—ensure your evolving means are built on the bedrock of your enduring mission.
