OptionsIn addition to available consults on management, programming, executive searches, accreditation issues, and state authorization for online academic programs, Concordant Consulting offers a unique online board evaluation system to any non-profit institutions (as described in Position Papers). It also provides a two-day workshop to gain clarity and agreement on the levels of authority in their organizations, including the adaptation of customary roles to particular idiosyncratic needs. The workshop would proceed in the following stages: STAGE ONE: The required receipt from the organization, approximately one month before the team visit, of its key governance documents: Board by-laws, administrative handbooks (personnel and/or policy), and staff handbook. STAGE TWO: A one-and-a-half-day visit by one or two members of Concordant Consulting to the campus/organization
STAGE THREE: The drafting by Concordant Consulting of an agreement in principle which will clarify the governance roles on campus, with appropriate changes, and to which, two weeks after the site visit, the three committees are willing to be unanimous signatories. This third stage results in a document which does not supersede any of the campus documents, but which does represent a good faith commitment to work together to accept or change those documents according to guidelines agreed to on the second day of the site visit. (The draft document will be presented by the director of Concordant Consulting in a second half-day visit to the campus.) A two-person team for the initial site visit would be comprised of Dr. David Stinebeck, director of Concordant Consulting, and one other professional from the firm chosen by the administration of the inviting institution—either an attorney active in education law; a psychologist in the field of systems theory; an expert on faculty unionization; a human resources director; or a vice president of enrollment management or student affairs. If no second professional is chosen, Dr. Stinebeck will be the sole consultant. |
