Leaders of universities and other educational institutions face missions that sometimes seem impossible.
They are responsible for finding and using scarce financial resources to maintain, lead and further grow their institutions as centres of excellence for teaching, learning, research, scholarship, and creativity of all kinds. Major challenges include budget overruns, misaligned missions, unclear costs and volatile enrolment.
KOMAND helps educational institutions by introducing a coherent approach to strategic planning that facilitates alignment amongst varied faculties and divisions.
We introduce established frameworks such as activity-based costing and management that have been widely used in non-educational sectors but not yet adopted by educational institutions themselves. We have proven expertise in assisting some of Canada’s largest educational institutions.

As a statistically driven strategic planning firm, we’ve done our research on why there is such a high failure rate with strategic implementations. It turns out that the sophistication level of the strategy management process is a key driver – the more sophisticated the strategy management process, the better the results.
