Consulting for Systems 

Strengthen data capacity across your system.

Higher education systems are uniquely positioned to strengthen the institutions they serve. Strong and responsive data functions benefit individual institutions and systems as capacity is freed at both levels for strategic priorities.

AIR partners with systems to navigate the different realities and needs of institutions while keeping the system’s needs and expectations in focus

What We Help You Do

• Build Capacity Across Institutions
  Provide different types of support – from tactical hands-on assistance to facilitation of cross-functional learning – to expand staff members’ knowledge, skills, and abilities. This support can be focused on individual/team professional development, process improvements, or both.
• Advance Shared Priorities
  Design technical assistance, training, and consulting around system priorities and requirements.
• Leverage Scale for Greater Impact
  Provide opportunities for teams from multiple institutions to learn together in real time.
• Support Institutions Where They Are
  Provide approaches that account for differences in institutional capacity, resources, maturity, and local context across the system.
• Strengthen Connection and Shared Learning
  Build community within and between institutions to learn with and from each other.
• One Partnership. Multiple Possibilities.
  Engagements can range from a single system-wide learning experience to a sustained capacity-building initiative for groups of institutions within the system. AIR can help you identify the right content, format, participants, and level of support in pursuit of system goals.
  
  Options include webinar series, virtual or in-person workshops, courses, cohort-based learning, customized training, technical assistance, and consulting. Areas of focus include foundational data skills, data literacy, data governance, compliance reporting, data storytelling, leadership development, and IR/IE practices.
