Any discussion of merger and collaboration should start internally for each school with the focus on mission, strengths, and weaknesses. The next step is an external analysis of opportunities and threats, the elements in the outside environment over which you have little or no control like economic recession, the birth rate, and the start-up or expansion of competing schools. LearnCollab works with school leaders as an expert third-party consultant to consolidate existing studies, plans, and data into a clear and realistic assessment of the internal situation. We follow that with an external market analysis and combine the two into a clear-eyed, realistic situation analysis and projection of where your school will likely be 3-5 years from now if current trends persist.
