Edvantic’s mission is to make high-quality education more affordable and reliable across the globe. We have a vast network of education institutions, credentialing bodies, training organizations and public and private partnerships that help make this a reality. This network continues to grow every day so we can bring new and better ideas, programs and frameworks to fruition. As such, our capabilities in education management are the cornerstone of not just our success, but the success of our clients and their stakeholders as well.

The challenges that colleges, universities, and professional schools face rarely fit neatly into one department. Each institution is an intricate ecosystem, and our services are set up to intersect and tie together key areas of this ecosystem to improve the overall effectiveness of the institution. Each of our services can be delivered at a school, campus, or system level and offer implementation services. We are dedicated to working alongside our clients throughout the process; from the diagnosis of a challenge to the delivery of results.

Educational institutions are always under the microscope of public opinion. They are criticized for graduates lacking relevance in a dynamic and highly competitive job market, for the rising cost of a degree and burdensome student debt, and for being slow to change and adopt new approaches and technologies in education. We enable institutions to respond to these challenges by helping them develop a clear and evidence-based strategic plan that is aligned with their mission and market position so that they can achieve their short-term goals while ensuring long-term sustainability.

Academic Portfolio Strategy

The education landscape is changing. The “be everything to everyone” strategy is not sustainable for most institutions. To thrive in this new context, schools must reevaluate the composition of their academic portfolios and ask themselves the following questions:

  • What has built (and will build) your brand?
  • What is core to your mission?
  • What will drive revenues?
  • What should be pruned or transitioned out?
  • What existing assets and common curricular elements enhance the value of this offering?

Online Strategy

With the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, the delivery method in education has been disrupted significantly. There is an increasing demand for educational technology and online learning systems that enable schools to engage students across a broader geographic area and place less demand on physical space, and to scale – providing education to more for less. Asynchronous vs. synchronous? Fully online vs. hybrid? Outsource vs. build? Every institution should have a comprehensive online strategy that answers these questions and caters to the specific needs of its various schools, programs, and course offerings.

WE WORK IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:
  • Market research and segmentation
  • Competitive analysis
  • Business plan creation and financial sustainability analysis for accreditation support
  • Outsourcing strategy and assessment
  • RFP creation, vendor assessment, negotiation support, and contract management for online program management vendors
