Our Strategy & Consulting Services
CBT is different from other firms because our consultants, like your leaders and stakeholders, have been part of the higher ed and nonprofit experience, faced and overcome challenges, negotiated change, and striven to identify and implement best practices. Our CBT consultant roster includes some of the most proven and successful consultants in the field of strategic planning, enrollment management, AI & technology, 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 and other organizations - across most states and on both local and statewide levels. On average, each CBT consultant has over 30 years of higher education and nonprofit experience.
Below are a sample of some of our strategy & consulting services:

How we work
Independent Professional Perspective.
We bring together a team of experienced leaders and 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 organization.
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 organizations. 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 organization.
