Organizational Growth
We specialize in helping institutions of higher education and other organizations grow.
We Understand Organizational Growth
Do you have a potential solution to a problem, and are struggling to get consensus from your stakeholders? Are there multiple paths to solve a problem and you’re unsure which path to take? Are there new government policies you need help to enact? Do you have internal data you’d like help turning into actionable change? We understand all of these issues and can help.
We can be a sounding board to your potential solution and help you understand possible reactions. We can help you build consensus. We can help transform your entire organization by training them in The Simplexity Method of problem solving! We will listen to your unique situation and help you craft and implement a creative solution.
Specific Areas of Expertise
While we can help your organization problem solve any issue, here are areas of expertise where we bring prior knowledge:
Accreditation is vital to the success of your institution. Yet, compiling evidence, creating reports, editing reports, and preparing your campus community for a visit can be an immense burden. Dr. Monroe has more than a decade of experience as a consultant evaluator, team chair, and member of the Institution Actions Council with the Higher Learning Commission. We can help you prepare for a visit or realize the changes required from a previous visit.
Distance Education
Flexible learning is no longer optional — it’s the expectation. Whether you’re formalizing a hybrid strategy, navigating state authorization and compliance, or rebuilding faculty confidence after years of adaptive teaching, Monarch Strategies brings institutional leadership experience and quality frameworks to help you build a distance education program that works — for students, for faculty, and for your external stakeholders.
Curriculum Development
Your curriculum is your institution’s promise to students. Monarch Strategies helps you audit that promise — designing stackable credentials that create early wins on the way to larger goals, building transfer pathways to four-year partners, and aligning programs to state and employer expectations. We work directly with your faculty so the results are ones they own and can sustain.
Educational Technology
Evaluating EdTech tools is a full-time job that most institutions can’t afford to staff. Monarch Strategies brings an independent, institution-first perspective to software selection, vendor relationships, implementation planning, and faculty training. We work across the vendor landscape — and our loyalty is always to your students, your faculty, and your budget.
