Performance Consulting For Education

Many educational institutions from secondary schools and the local authorities that monitor them to Colleges and Universities realise that the performance of their students lies beyond simple access to up-to-date books, IT and motivated teachers. The climate and culture of schools and universities often dictates the overall performance of an institution. Schools in Britain, across the EU and the United States find themselves undergoing “special measures” to try and drag up test-scores and attendance without addressing any of the underlying demotivating and distracting factors undermining the hard work of teachers and, in many cases, students.

The very same organisational development and management consultancy that drives change in business can also help transform school and university settings. By working with faculty, staff, coaches and technical staff to curb divisive elements, APS creates a shared sense of purpose and creates an environment that people feel they can relate to and in which they can wholeheartedly invest themselves.

By taking residence on campus for up to one week, APS embeds itself within the institution positioning itself to fully understand and better interact with the faculty leadership, teachers, coaches and staff. During this time, APS profiles the organisation, some of its key individuals and sub-groups while continuing to collect information, facilitate communication and encourage multidirectional feedback. This results in the initiation of an evolving, ongoing intervention that creates prompt, positive change.

In educational institutions, budgets are tight and APS endeavours to suggest and implement initiatives that will not increase future spending. By investing in individual soft-skill improvements and facilitating better communication and more transparent communication channels, an organisation will find themselves with more far human capitol at their disposal - and all pulling in the same direction, towards their shared goal.
