Institutional Planning | For educational institutions, Dan will apply a combination of strategic advisory services and scenario planning to help define strategic positioning, develop vision and create roadmaps. The intent of this work is to help educational institution innovate by decoupling accreditation from on-going planning. This approach allows for educational institutions to be more nimble in the near term and to be more efficient in delivering accreditation materials because much of the work of accreditation becomes a packaging exercise for strategies, definitions and approaches, already documented, being implemented and being assessed. | Work Experience Design | Based on his new book, Management by Design, Dan works with organizations to improve work experiences-from reinventing innovation centers to re-imagining meetings to designing learning environments. |
