Our Services

Morningtide Consulting offers several unique services to assist schools. Each service pivots on the concept that strategy is your number one priority.

Strategic Health Check

Strategic Health Check

From $3,000 (+GST)

Is your school’s strategy working—or just sitting on a shelf? The Strategic Health Check is a two-week deep dive that reveals what’s aligned, what’s drifting, and where you're exposed. It’sa fast, evidence-based way to regain clarity.

Who is this service for?
This is ideal for Principals and Board Chairs who suspect their school’s priorities may be scattered, under-aligned, or outdated. It’s also a strong pre-strategy step for those considering a full planning cycle.
What’s included and what do schools gain?
  • Review of current strategic documents, goals, and initiatives
  • Environmental scan (internal and external trends)
  • 1:1 consultation with the Principal and Board Chair
  • Visual report outlining strengths, risks, blind spots, and recommendations
Schools leave this process with greater confidence in their leadership decisions and clarity on what to focus on next. One client recently described it as “the moment the fog cleared.”

  2. We provide a tailored proposal with timeline and inclusions
  3. Work begins within 1–2 weeks of confirmation

Vision & Values Refresh

Vision & Values Refresh

  • Pre-session survey and document review
  • 1-day facilitation workshop with leadership
  • Drafting and refinement of statements, including community feedback loop

  2. Run the session onsite or via hybrid facilitation
  3. Receive fully edited statements and rollout support
Audit
Goal Alignment Audit

From $5,000 (+GST)

Are your teams aiming at the same target—or at all? This audit uncovers how well goals across faculties and portfolios actually support your strategy, and identifies disconnects holding you back.

Who is this service for?
For schools that want to sharpen execution. Especially relevant for large or siloed teams, or those preparing for accreditation, strategy rollout, or performance reviews.
What’s included and what do schools gain?
  • Review of team, faculty, and school-wide goals
  • Gap and duplication analysis
  • Recommendations for tighter alignment and measurement
Schools will benefit from increased coherence, accountability, and strategic focus. Schools often discover 30–50% of goals are poorly aligned or unmeasured—this is your chance to fix that.
What happens next?
  1. Send through your current documents and org structure
  2. We provide a draft report within 2 weeks
  3. Final recommendations are delivered in a wrap-up call
