We offer a complete support package for colleges who need to develop an improvement or recovery strategy.
Our service provides facilitation and advice for our client ensuring that the content and quality of their plans are in line with LSC requirements and that agreed timescales are met providing much needed confidence for all stakeholders at a time of significant uncertainty.
We have developed an approach to assisting colleges which is both innovative and successful. The success of our approach has resulted in the LSC inviting us to deliver the consultant's view at a number of recovery planning seminars during the past few years and to advise them on the future direction of their provider recovery strategy.
We provide support and guidance to the college SMT and to Governors in this specialist area. Our experience of helping other colleges can reduce the timescales involved in developing suitable plans and our knowledge of what is required by the LSC and other providers of finance can ensure that valuable time is not wasted. Our support does not end with the production of the plan. We also offer ongoing implementation advice & support to ensure that the plan has a realistic chance of being delivered.
We can supply references on demand from colleges with whom we have worked to successfully deliver recovery and merger strategies.
We offer a comprehensive service to a college involving the project management of the improvement or recovery planning process, resulting in a robust, realistic and achievable recovery plan that satisfies LSC requirements. All key areas can be supported throughout the process including Finance, MIS, HR and Curriculum.
Our approach focuses on a whole college review leading to a re-engineering of the structure, systems, processes and staffing of the college. We strive to involve the management and staff of the college throughout the whole process to ensure that they have ownership of the plans being developed. Experience tells us that this is essential if the plan is to be deliverable.
Developing a recovery or improvement plan can be a stressful time for all who are involved in a college. It is a period of significant uncertainty when colleges look for advice and guidance. Knowledge of what is expected and required therefore is extremely helpful. We have this knowledge. We have successfully advised a number of colleges on the development of their recovery plan and the LSC themselves seek our advice on recovery and improvement planning matters.
