INSPIRE
DESIGN
TRANSFORM
You cannot prepare people for what comes next with systems built for what came before.
The challenge is not adding more, but deciding what needs to change, what should stay, and how to move forward with greater clarity and intention.
HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
Different challenges require different levels of support.
Whether you need to shift how a room thinks, bring a team together around a specific challenge, or lead deeper change across an institution or organization, my work is designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward.

HIQ® Strategic Design Labs
DESIGN STRATEGY
Focused, collaborative engagements for leaders and teams who need to tackle a defined challenge, establish shared direction, and turn big ideas into practical designs. Using HIQ® as the underlying design logic, each lab is tailored to the people, priorities, and context involved.
Each lab is tailored to your context and can address one or more of three interconnected domains:
-
Leadership and Strategy: Creating greater coherence across priorities, decisions, resources and responsibilities
-
Learning Systems Design: Redesigning programs, curriculum, instruction, assessment and learning experiences
-
Implementation and Capacity: Strengthening professional practice, internal capability and the conditions required to sustain change
Foundation Lab — 2 Days
Builds shared understanding, establishes common language, clarifies priorities and produces a focused direction, initial design and 90-day action plan. For teams that need a strong direction forward.
$30,000
Comprehensive Lab — 4 Days
Provides the time and structure required to develop a more complete strategy, integrated design, implementation blueprint and 6–12-month roadmap. For teams ready to turn complexity into coordinated action.
$50,000
Design Labs can focus on challenges such as:
-
Assessment redesign
-
AI and learning strategy
-
Curriculum or program renewal
-
Human capability development
-
Workforce learning
-
Leadership development
-
Institutional alignment
Fees reflect the core engagement. Travel and applicable expenses are additional for in-person delivery.
Design Labs can stand alone or form part of an ongoing HIQ® Transformation Partnership.
Best for: teams with a defined challenge that needs concentrated strategy and design work.

HIQ® Transformation Partnerships
TRANSFORM SYSTEMS
Year-long strategic partnerships for institutions, organizations, foundations and government departments that are ready to move beyond isolated initiatives and build sustained capacity for change. I work alongside leaders and practitioners over time, helping translate strategy into action, strengthen internal capability, and create greater coherence across people, programs, and priorities.
Partnerships may include:
-
Teacher Preparation & Professional Learning
Preparing educators and practitioners to work confidently in changing learning environments through guest lectures, pre-service and graduate sessions, faculty consultation, mentorship, and targeted professional learning. -
Community of Practice & Institutional Capacity Building
Building or leading ongoing communities of practice that strengthen teaching and learning across the institution. Topics may include assessment redesign, teaching alongside AI, human capability, authentic learning, and future-ready curriculum. -
Leadership Advising
Supporting institutional change makers through regular strategy sessions with senior leaders, academic leadership, Centers for Teaching & Learning, AI steering committees, and other key decision-makers. -
Strategic Transformation Activities
Advancing priority initiatives through activities such as reviewing institutional AI strategy, advising on policy drafts, providing curriculum feedback, participating on advisory committees, or contributing thought leadership through keynotes and leadership sessions. -
On-Demand Strategic Support
Providing just-in-time support for emerging questions, decision points, faculty needs, leadership priorities, and opportunities that arise throughout the partnership.
The exact expression varies by setting: In higher education, this work may take the form of an HIQ® Scholar-in-Residence appointment. In other settings, it may take the form of a strategic or executive advisory partnership.
Best for: institutions, organizations, foundations, government departments that are undertaking deeper change and require more sustained guidance, coordination, and internal capacity building.
