Strategy

Your strategy for success

When you’re trying to unpick a timetabling or space management challenge, it can be hard to see the wood for the trees.

We’ll help you get to the root of the issue. Find a clear path forward. And navigate any obstacles along the way. With our strategic heads on, we’ll plot a roadmap that gets you from A to B as quickly and smoothly as possible.

We’ll help you bring your stakeholders on the journey too, so that everyone’s happy with the direction you’re moving in. No scenic routes here – our aim is to save you time and money!

A plan with action

We’ll assemble a strategy that gets the job done. Whether that job is streamlining your timetabling processes. Getting to grips with under-used space. Or dealing with a change to teaching hours, student numbers or the size of your estate.

Then we’ll help you put it into action.

A strategy with strong foundations

First, we lay the groundwork. Workshops with timetablers, space managers, estate teams, academics and admin staff to understand your specific challenge from every angle. Meetings with senior stakeholders, to understand the direction your university is heading in, so you get a strategy that gets you there quicker.

No stone unturned

Next, we dig into your ways of working to unearth anything that might derail your strategy. And because they all impact each other, we look at how you handle your data, timetables and the way you use space. Armed with this knowledge, you’ll have a clear plan of action that clears any roadblocks, and creates the change you seek.

Keeping you on track

We’re with you every step of the way as you bed your new strategy in. Change can be hard, but we’re here to help you handle internal resistance or any unexpected turns in the track. We'll help you stay focussed on your end destination and once you're there, we're on-call for any new adventures, too!
