A plan your whole campus helps write.
The strongest institutional strategy is built with everyone, not for them. We bring an inclusive, defensible process that honors shared governance, keeps student success and community needs at the center, and produces a plan your faculty, staff, students, board, and community are proud to carry forward.
Your institution is specific. So is our partnership.
Higher-ed planning isn't generic strategy work. Shared governance, student success, and staying relevant to the community you serve are particular to your campus. So is the way we help you meet them.
A plan that's inclusive by design, where faculty, classified staff, students, and community all see themselves.
A process that holds your accreditation timeline, on schedule and to standards.
A partner fluent in shared governance, not a generalist learning the politics on your time.
Senior, seasoned consultants in the room, leading your most important process from start to finish.
A document that is polished and defensible for internal and external audiences alike.
Strategy that operationalizes into KPIs and momentum, long after the plan is published.
Depth across the campus.
Institutional strategy
A mission-aligned strategic plan that holds up to a faculty senate and a board alike.
Shared-governance facilitation
Inclusive engagement across faculty, classified staff, students, and community, so the plan reflects what we heard directly from them.
Community alignment
Strategy that meets the educational and workforce development needs of the community you serve.
Enrollment & student success
Strategy that connects access, completion, and the outcomes students and funders expect.
Cabinet & board alignment
Facilitation and decision structures that align leadership from cabinet to board of trustees.
Operationalization & KPIs
Dashboards and an annual cadence that turn the published plan into measurable progress.
We turn a mandate into shared ownership.
Every plan begins with a leadership team that wants it to land, internally and externally. Here's the shift our higher-ed partners describe.
“This needs to look right and feel right. Both.”
“The faculty senate is quoting our own plan back to us.”
On time and on track, with the largest group in the college's history.
The budget improvement process, along with the subsequent facilitation Coraggio provided to CCC’s Budget Advisory Group (BAG) process was phenomenal. The process had many structural issues and was unwieldy at best with 40-plus members. Coraggio was masterful at weaving the process improvements into the actual annual process during a time of 5% budget reductions. Traditionally a budget reduction process creates many challenges in moving through a tight timeline with many questions and concerns, Coraggio was great at keeping the process on time and on track with the largest BAG membership in the college’s history.
Where we work across education.
A research university, a rural community college, and a county library system run on different clocks. Each of these has its own page.
