Process consulting is all about helping organizations help themselves. By utilizing an inquiry-based and collaborative approach, together we craft an organizational process that meets your desired outcomes.

We walk alongside you as you go through these processes, coaching you along the way. Process consultants rarely, if ever, tell a client what to do. Instead, we ask open ended questions helping you uncover answers that might not otherwise be discovered.  For a complete discussion, see Ron’s blog entry: “What is Process Consulting?”

Working with clients in both higher education and in other non-profit sectors, Dr. Mahurin uses an inquiry-based approach to co-design a planning process specific to each client and their circumstances.

The process will likely include a review of mission, vision and values, significant stakeholder engagement, SWOT analysis, identification of key strategic priorities and SMART goals, as well as practical performance indicators that will measure the success of the plan.

The value add of a process-approach to strategic planning is that in designing the work together, including the timelines, identifying key stakeholders, assessing how your mission and vision will shape the plan, and how we might integrate your operational plan into the strategic plan means that the end result is a strategic plan is one that is robust, meaningful, realistic, measurable, and one that the entire organization can own… together.

Excellent board governance does not simply happen. It requires attention to mission and vision, clear communication, strong and consistent recruitment and retention of board members, alignment around board and CEO responsibilities, and more.

Dr. Mahurin works with boards of both small non-profits and larger colleges and universities who seek greater alignment around mission, need to develop or fine-tune existing board policies and standards, require assistance around transition planning, and the myriad of issues and challenges that boards face as they seek to fulfill their tasks and responsibilities as stewards of the mission and vision.
