ENGAGEMENTS
In the industry of digital meets education, we strive to support our clients’ evolutionary needs through all phases with customized support. While there may be a multitude of ways to enrich our clients’ organizational goals, we do have a consistent workflow to help our customers become familiar with how consultants can be involved in their business endeavors. Below is a sample workflow to provide with an idea of the steps in our partnership. We will certainly deviate from this path if necessary to best serve a client, but this gives a good picture of the standard process.
1. A typical engagement begins with a Discovery & Strategy engagement usually lasting about 30-60 days.
2. Based on the recommendations from the Discovery & Strategy, we generally enter into the Action Planning.
Action Planning Sessions offer the tools for organizations to take their technology, education, or implementation strategies and projects forward internally.
3. At this point we typically enter into an appropriate retainer relationship where we are kept on as a STEM education partner, focusing on three distinct areas of responsibility; advisory, facilitation, and evaluation surrounding an organization’s STEM education strategy. Our goal with all retainer relationships is to build capacity enabling them to reach milestones and proceed successfully.
SOLUTIONS
Retainer Relationships
Some clients want to engage us to assist them with the implementation of their strategy and specific action plan. In those cases, we make ourselves available to help guide decision making, provide accountability, assist with execution and ensure progress is made. These are ongoing relationships that we develop with organizations who wish to continue to improve their technology practices. Our primary focus will lie in the following areas: Advisory Responsibilities, Facilitation Responsibilities, and Assessment Responsibilities
These responsibilities include: brainstorming, vendor negotiations, troubleshooting, strategic implementation, professional development, and coaching for design sessions.
Project Based Engagements
Clients may need help with an authentic project; we can provide research experts, curriculum writers, training developers, and strategists to empower sustainable outcomes. With project- based engagements, a scope and sequence for allocation of time and collaboration is established with schedule touch points to ensure communication and effectiveness remain consistent. We can integrate seamlessly on projects such as these to assure they are completed on time, on budget, and hit the milestones established in the beginning while creating buy in from stakeholders.
Per-diem Engagements
Depending on the various needs and stages of growth some companies want to include us as subject matter experts, professional development providers, or coaches for business development. Whether meeting your internal business needs or supporting with client facing content knowledge, we offer an array of short term solutions. Our per diem relationships range from 2-hour Keynote sessions to up to 6 hour in person session. Webinars and remote consulting options are also available. Professional development engagements providing training as subject matter experts (SME) with customized curricula or content range depending on depth, breadth, and audience are also available as customized services.
