Developing and implementing a strategy

At SUMS we understand the complexities involved in developing and implementing a strategy. It’s our first job to make sure you have the right evidence, diagnostic tools and insights to really understand what’s going on and where improvements are needed.

We help you to prioritise, to focus on the areas that really matter and to get your organisation working
effectively and efficiently towards your goals.

Successful delivery of a new strategy means change: new ways of working, new systems, new processes. We work with you and your community to make the right changes, in the right way.

Change can be challenging. Our approach, combining our deep knowledge of higher education with the sharpest approaches and tools from other sectors, means you can partner with us with confidence.
