The Education Advisory Board holds itself to a singularly high standard in its work with member universities, always asking of each member we serve, if we are providing tangible value above and beyond the membership contribution. That the vast majority of our members continue to work with us year after year is testament to our relentless focus on impact and results, whether it is accelerating internal university change initiatives, helping universities reduce costs, or simply saving their staff time.

Accelerating Change and Enhancing Effectiveness

• We help universities prioritize problems and triage among solutions
• We take on the burden of introducing controversial ideas to the organization and educating key internal constituencies on their worth
• We identify the right best practices for each university and advise on their implementation
• We provide qualitative and quantitative benchmarks to guide universities in improving performance

Saving Money and Reducing Costs

• We identify opportunities for cost reduction and cost avoidance, especially with regard to new technologies and the latest fads
• We replace the expense of professional development and leadership training for university executives, managers, and staff
• We help avoid or shorten outside consulting engagements

Saving Time and Improving Staff Efficiency

• We help universities avoid reinventing the wheel by providing practices already tested by peers nationwide
• We save university staff time by serving as an “on call” project resource
• We extend the external reach of often overburdened HR staffs
