Our Higher Ed Consulting Services
CBT is different from other firms because our consultants, like your leaders and stakeholders, have been part of the higher ed experience, faced and overcome challenges, negotiated change, and striven to identify and implement best practices to support student success for all students. Our CBT consultant roster includes some of the most proven and successful consultants in the field of strategic planning, enrollment management, student equity and success, and institutional research. They all have rich and extensive experience in both single and multi-college community college districts, and public & private nonprofit universities - across most states and on both local and statewide levels. On average, each CBT consultant has over 30 years of higher education experience.
Below are a sample of some of our Higher Ed consulting services:

Quick and confidential phone/video calls with our higher education experts
We tap into our extensive network of two-year and four-year higher education experts to consult with you and your team. Our consultants will confidentially listen and advise your team on how they would approach your problem, as well as how your peer institutions are working on similar issues. In addition to our core team of consultants, we reach into hundreds of extended higher education professionals so that you receive the optimal fit for your needs. Some typical calls include: to gauge the timing and preparation of strategic planning, where might some gaps be in a strategic enrollment plan, how do I work better with my Board, and how others have dealt with reorganizing the structure of their organization.
How we work
Independent Higher Education Perspective.
We bring together a team of experienced leaders and higher education professionals, dedicated to exploring your issues and opportunities. We do not bring pre-formulated findings, we do not recommend or implement specific tools or products, nor do we have any stake in any outcome but your success, maintaining full independence to perform assessment and review for your institution.
Commitment to Exceeding Expectations.
You understandably expect both dedicated attention and outstanding results. We are committed to investing the time to fully understand your needs, making those needs our top priority, meeting your quality requirements, involving and eliciting inputs from all participants, and being available when and where you need us.
We’ve Been There.
We understand the challenges as well as the opportunities you’re facing, because we have worked with hundreds of institutions across the country and our team includes individuals who have deep experience working in best practice institutions. Now, we choose to continue that work every day. We know the varied and complex issues you have to deal with, but more importantly, we know how to help you address them. We can help spark new ideas and achieve a cohesive and compelling plan that drives new energy, innovation and initiative from across the institution.
