Six ways to work together. One integrated strategy.
The foundation
Comprehensive talent strategy development aligned to your district's instructional priorities and student outcome goals. We work through five questions over 8-12 weeks to produce a written talent strategy aligned to your district's strategic plan.
Ongoing leadership
Ongoing strategic partnership providing expert talent analytics leadership without the cost of a full-time executive hire. Fractional, embedded, collaborative — we integrate with your team as a strategic resource.
Listen to your people
Validated staff experience surveys that capture what drives retention and satisfaction in your district. We help you ask the right questions, measure what matters, and turn the answers into action.
See the patterns
Data infrastructure that turns your HRIS and people data into actionable talent insights and dashboards. We help you understand why teachers stay and why they leave — and what to do about it.
Communicate to lead
Board-ready reports that translate talent data into compelling strategic narrative for district leadership. We help your data tell the story that drives action.
Implement what works
Hands-on support implementing the four high-leverage talent strategies with implementation science frameworks. We stay alongside you through implementation — building capacity as we go.
Most HR departments operate in reactive mode. Strategic talent management changes the game.

| Focus | Processes and compliance | Organizational capacity and student outcomes |
| Primary Role | Service provider | Strategic partner to Superintendent |
| Metrics | Time-to-fill, cost-per-hire | Retention rates, teacher effectiveness, student outcomes |
| Positioning | Reactive — respond to vacancies | Proactive — anticipate and prevent |
| Time Horizon | Current year | 1-3 years ahead |
