Stevens Strategy: Services

"Having engaged John Stevens in the selection and implementation process for a new student information system, his breadth of experience in higher education and his ability to develop and foster a good process led to a successful decision for Keene State College. Decisions of that magnitude are judged over time, and this one, several years old now, is deemed an organizational success."

— Dwight Fischer, Chief Information Officer, Plymouth State University and former Chair of the Keene State College System Selection and Implementation Team

History

On February 1, 2003, after 16 years at another higher education consulting firm, Dr. John Stevens began an independent consulting practice, Stevens Strategy, specializing in the development of strategy for colleges, universities and schools. At his previous firm, Dr. Stevens served as the firm's Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, its expert in the process of strategic planning, and the head of its Strategy Consulting Practice. He first developed his strategic planning process while he was Vice President of Rhode Island School of Design. In the years since then, he has honed this method of strategic planning into a highly successful five-phased process.

Dr. Stevens launched Stevens Strategy with several active, fully engaged clients with ongoing large-scale projects and a historical client list of well over fifty institutions (and current client list over 80). With his colleagues at Stevens Strategy Dr. Stevens continues to deliver the same high-level strategic services to the same higher education clientele that he has consistently served over the past two decades. To this venture he brings a strong track record of success, a large client base, ownership of his strategic planning intellectual property, and a competent and highly qualified staff of higher education experts.
