To: Principals, Heads of Schools, Senior Leaders, and Board Chairs...
Are you looking for a Private School or Non-Profit Strategic Planning Consultant that can Help Improve Your School's or Non-Profit's Performance?
Dear Fellow Educator and Friend,
I’m on a mission. You see, I want to be the strategic planning consultant known for providing solutions to leaders of Independent and Private Schools that helps them to maximize their organization’s potential through a strategic plan.
One of the critical keys to reaching your potential as outstanding
school is to develop and implement an effective strategic planning process that
lays out the stepping stones and the foundation to maximize your
school’s operations and management.
For
me this is not such a far fetched, pie in the sky ambition, because
I’ve done it for other schools that I’ve help lead and consult with.
I’m energized by the importance of my one of a kind strategic planning
system, “Results Optimization.” But it’s not just any plan, it’s the
one that I’ve perfected.
Simply put, a school undertakes strategic planning to
reaffirm or adjust its mission – why it exists, what its purpose is,
and what it does now– and to agree on its vision – what it wants to be
and do in the coming years. The purpose is not to decide what should be
done in the future but to decide what should be done right now to make
you the best private school. Ask yourself, is your current strategic plan doing that?
The
real value of my Strategic Planning system is more than simply having a
blueprint that guides future decisions -- which is incredibly valuable
on its own. It’s also my powerfully comprehensive approach to building
consensus and motivating support, defining critical priorities for your
Board and Head of School who are charged with the implementation of the
plan, and focusing all your energies in one agreed upon direction. Not
ready, shoot, AIM. Is this happening at your school?
My
proven 10-Step Results Optimization Strategic Planning Process is an
effective system that builds anticipation within your school community.
It’s the critical element to creating your extraordinary school. Benefits of the Strategic Planning system include:
- Defining your school’s priorities, closing the gaps, and channeling all your combined energy
- Strengthening the partnership between the Head/Principal and the Board -- making both more effective and aware of their roles
- Defining benchmarks for success and accountability -- creating a huge ‘bull’s eye’ to aim for
- Analyzing critical issues, finding what is holding you back, and giving you the compass and road map to success
- Catapulting your fundraising campaigns to the next level -- both ‘capital’ and ‘annual’
- Forming the basis for yearly Head-Board criteria and evaluations …are you doing this now?!
- Forming the basis for yearly Head-Board criteria and evaluations …are you doing this now?!
- Putting you on the path to being a top 1% school
- Energizing everyone to get involved, creating a shared vision and sense of ownership
- Building stronger academic and extra-curricular programs and energizing them
- Improving
finances and projections; knowing where and why you are putting funds
in your budget, and your parents understanding why tuition is the way
it is and where it will be in the future
- Focusing on excellence -- actually it focuses you on being ‘exceptional’ …why settle for excellent!!
My planning system won’t fail -- it will springboard you to the next level. What do you receive from Halladay Education Group’s 10-Step Results Optimization Strategic Planning System?

Option 1: Take the bull by the horns and take Action.
Option 2: Make excuses and accept your present lot in life.
There are only two choices in everything you do in life. 1. Actions 2. Excuses
Successful
schools keep their eye on the future. They know they need to
continuously learn and grow...unsuccessful schools think they already
know enough...they have EXCUSES for why they're not successful, and
willing to settle for the status quo.
Which Best Describes
You...Actions or Excuses? If you want to take your school to the next
level, you need to take Action immediately...Time is running out!
Another school year is about to begin. You can continue to make excuses or Start Taking Action. Right now!

"Throughout
the development of the Plan, Mr. Halladay was consistentlyy
professional in his dealings with staff and parents. He established a
respectful relationship with the parent members of the focus groups and
the Planning Committee, and ensured that each stakeholder group felt
their comments heard. He is also very organized and punctual, and
consistently delivered data and drafts according to the established
shedule. His strengths lie in delegating and drawing on the abilities
and skill sets of the people in the organization, both of which result
in the content of the Plan coming authentically from the participants."
Nigel Turner, Board Chair, Greybrook Academy

"Mr. Halladay has been instrumental in establishing a number of key programs and policies...In the time that Mr. Halladay has been at WPGA, he has made a significant impact on the school. He has quickly been able to determine areas in which the school needs to focus on, while being able to encourage stakeholders to buy in."
J. Beames, Fmr. Board Chair, West Point Grey Academy

"I have been impressed with Mr. Halladay's ability to lead and managea variety of projects, which have highlighted his outstnding organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills...One project in particular illustrated his ability to effectively co-ordinate a variety of educational partners, including industry, business, post secondary , and community organizations.

"Doug worked very well with all Governors on the Board and was excellent at developing effective relationships with each Governor. He kept the board well informed and was instrumental in developing and implementing the strategic plan that is in place today"
Sally Leigh Spencer, Board Chair, Queen Margaret's School
|
|
"With vision and leadership, Doug quickly evolved a strategic plan in collaboration with the school's board. The plan reaffirmed the long history of Queen Margaret's as a fine girls' preparatory school but created a new emphasis on the education of the whole student: scholastics, the arts, athletics and citizenship. The strategic plan also addressed the school's finances and upon the basis of related business models, a whole new approach to setting tuition fees was evolved."
Mark Moore, Business Manager, Queen Margaret's School
