We deliver
results for our higher education clients by assisting
with strategy development, business process design,
information technology alignment, and preparing
for and executing organizational change. With
thoughtful consideration of the impacts on people,
processes, and technology, we’ve successfully
partnered with leading institutions to achieve
lasting change and create long-term value. Our
clients include members of the University of California,
California State University, and State University
of New York systems.
Strategy
Development and Planning
A well thought out strategy links an enterprises’
mission with the specific activities required of
the organization to achieve it. Strategy is a discipline
and requires careful and contentious monitoring.
We help senior administrators address their organizations'
most complex and challenging business issues, enabling
them to design a clear road map to success.
Business
Process Design
A strategy is only as good as the processes used
to implement it. Administrative and IT leaders increasingly
look to information technology solutions to improve
financial and operational performance, yet applying
new technology to existing and frequently inefficient
business processes oftentimes leads to disappointment.
We help our clients maximize their potential by
bringing real-world expertise to business process
and IT implementation projects.
Information
Technology Alignment
At the heart of many of the most respected campuses
is a well-run information technology organization.
Yet even the highest performing IT units struggle
to maintain tight alignment with enterprise objectives.
We help our clients ensure that IT strategies are
tightly linked with the core mission of the University
– teaching, research, and public service. We also
work with IT leaders to improve the efficiency,
effectiveness, and performance of the IT organization.
Organizational
Change Management
A central part of any transformational activity
is the objective of realizing and sustaining business
benefits. Yet the organizational and people implications
of strategic, process and technological change are
often overlooked. At AVCOR, we integrate change
management strategies and activities as a part of
all client initiatives.
