It assists the institution to identify what is possible and how to go about the process of desired change. The institution is in charge of how the consultancy progresses and the outside facilitators work closely with facilitators within the institution. As each institution is unique, consultants work in individual ways. Consultants do not seek to bring about their own preferred options. Consultancy is concerned with skills, competencies, values, understandings and insights to make institutions more effective and continue to develop better learning.
Consultancy is a very effective use of human resource development funds and time.
An outsider has specific advantages in helping to initiate change. Our consultants are drawn largely from staff members of the University of Waikato, largely from the School of Education, with expertise in areas of leadership, curriculum, interpersonal relationship, policy and legal issues. These consultants have a wide range of educational experiences from all sector of the education system. We aim to provide the most appropriate consultant to meet the institution's needs. There is no charge for the initial consultation.
