Expecting Transformation Without Entrepreneurial Behavior Is Like Expecting Rainstorms When There Are No Clouds.
The traits of entrepreneurial behavior are mission-critical ingredients to authentic and sustainable transformation. Does your culture intentionally foster and support them?
- Idea Generation
- Problem Solving
- Risk Acceptance
- Need to Achieve
- Persistence
- Future Focus
- Passion

We position schools for breakthroughs in culture and performance through:
- Administering the BOSI Assessment that measures individual, team, and institutional “entrepreneurial DNA”
- Equipping managers and leaders with frameworks on how to build teams, working groups, and innovation teams by leveraging complementary DNAs.
- Hosting workshops, ThinkSpaces, retreats, and experiential learning experiences around activating entrepreneurial mindset to solve problems.
- Leading working groups and innovation teams through our proprietary Outcomes-Driven Design Thinking Sessions.
- Installing a Rapid Innovation Framework on campus so that teams can leverage it for repeatable results.
- Installing a values-driven coaching and mentoring culture, where managers and supervisors actually know how to lead.
- Design and operation of a leadership academy that identifies and cultivates leaders at your institution.
- Design and management of professional development curriculum targeting every employee of the institution with customized learning pathways.
Depending on the scope of change you are looking to install, you may only need one or two of these interventions. However, if you’re a President or Chancellor looking to transform culture across the institution, our comprehensive Talent Stewardship Model is second to none.

Our study of higher ed institutions has found that when entrepreneurial mindset is activated in a culture of care, and wrapped in a talent stewardship approach to professional development, employee satisfaction and retention is significantly improved.
