Higher Education

Amidst extraordinary uncertainty, BCG is helping higher education leaders build resilience, seize opportunities for growth, and discover new ways to differentiate their institutions.

Colleges and universities are facing declining enrollment, financial instability, and prolonged educational disruptions. A recent BCG survey found that 72% of college presidents are concerned about the perceived decrease in value of higher education. In short, colleges and universities are facing an existential crisis.

The changing nature of the higher education industry demands a strategy that is inclusive, collaborative, and resilient. BCG helps today’s leaders stay competitive by navigating key trends in higher education, such as:

A growing need for higher ed-employer collaboration . An estimated 1.3 billion people have competencies misaligned with the work they perform, fueling a rapidly growing skills mismatch across the globe.

A shift in student expectations . Gen Z students are demanding to be treated as customers and to realize value commensurate with the investment they’re making.

New business and delivery models. Competency-based models, massive open online courses (MOOCs), “boot camps,” and microcredentials are all emerging. But shifting from in-person to online instruction—while maintaining quality—is not a simple task.

An expanding ecosystem. The corporate sector is increasingly involved in academic programming, research programs, and apprenticeships.

Our Approach to Higher Education Consulting

BCG's higher ed consulting teams have decades of experience helping public and private institutions around the world to become more sustainable and resilient. We work shoulder to shoulder with clients during all stages of planning, enablement, and growth:

• Planning. We support leaders as they set a strategic direction, develop a roadmap for growth, ensure racial equity and economic access, and discover new ways to differentiate from competitors.
• Enablement. We offer new strategies to ensure maximum cost efficiency, improve student outcomes, simplify administrative structures, streamline governance, and drive effective fundraising.
• Growth. We ensure that institutions are leveraging cutting-edge technologies and innovative solutions, launching new initiatives, and scaling up the most successful programs.

Our Higher Education Consulting Work with Clients

Improving Access to Higher Education . BCG worked with a university to increase enrollment with a specific focus on access for low-income and minority students.

Preparing for Effortless Expansion. BCG worked with a large innovative public university to build and implement a successful growth strategy.

Reinventing the University Experience. BCG worked with a leading business school to transform its university experience for students and faculty alike.

Lessons from Fulbright on Developing the University of the Future. A new liberal arts institution in Vietnam found that including students and faculty in the school’s development was a major driver of success.

Our Higher Education Tools and Frameworks

We leverage a wide array of proprietary tools and analytical frameworks to create transformative change in the higher education industry, including:

BCG's Future Skills Architect Tool

Helps colleges and universities gauge the skills mismatch in their country’s labor supply, understand its root causes, and identify the policies that can erase the mismatch by promoting reskilling and lifelong learning.

BCG's Higher Education Strategy Development Process

Analyzes dynamic trends in higher education—including financial, technology, and competitive pressures—to help schools measure their performance across key dimensions, such as academic excellence, student outcomes, financial insights, brand or reputation, access, and economic impact.

K–12 Education

K-12 Consulting Services

You have big goals for your district. We have the education consulting services to help you accomplish them.

Our Approach to Education Consulting

We approach each district partnership with the mindset that while we can share what has worked elsewhere, we must seek to understand the current culture and context of each district and school. We honor the goals, priorities, and vision of every leader with whom we work, and we help them to hone, articulate, and make those visions a reality.

Our team leads with equity and leverages deep expertise, design thinking, expert facilitation, a spirit of collaboration, and our extensive toolkit of resources and technology to deliver sustainable results.

Instructional Design & Implementation

Organizational Strategy

Leadership Strategy

Surveys & Analytics

K-12 instructional design is an iterative process. To achieve the best student outcomes, districts must rigorously improve their instruction to meet student needs.

Education Elements can help you identify your district’s biggest instructional challenges and create a student-centered approach to solving them. We provide coaching, support, and facilitated experiences to create meaningful change in instructional practice.

We’ll help your team build the necessary skills to implement instructional shifts, continually reassess instructional practice, and update your approach based on changing needs. Our work is grounded in evidence-based practices that have demonstrable impact on student and teacher success.

• Personalized and Blended Learning

This instructional approach empowers students to take ownership of their learning and get the instruction they need, when and how they need it.

We’ll work with your district to develop and articulate a vision and strategy for personalized learning and/or blended learning, and support its implementation through high-quality professional development for teachers and leaders.

• School Transformation

School transformation is the process of building (or rebuilding) school structures around the needs of students and communities. This includes school design, restart, and school improvement.

We can help your district develop the systems and vision for a new school or program, or rethink and redesign an existing one.

School Improvement

Education Elements designs sustainable solutions that improve student outcomes. We recognize that districts with schools designated as in need of improvement must focus on immediate, compliance-driven mandates while simultaneously investing in leadership and learning practices that lead to long-term, sustainable improvements.

Before you can solve a complex problem, you need to understand the root causes — and sometimes, that process is just as challenging as the problem solving itself. That’s where our education strategy consulting comes in.

Education Elements builds winning strategies through community and staff engagement. We identify core challenges, discover new possibilities with human-centered design, and ensure successful implementation through responsive planning. We’ll help your team establish priorities, sort through options, and align on an effective approach.

• Strategic Planning

Whether your district needs to create a new strategic plan or implement and monitor an existing one, we can help. Working closely with your team, we’ll craft a strategic plan that builds unity in your community, fosters alignment, and is a catalyst for transformational change.

• Talent Strategy

Retaining top talent is an enormous challenge in education. The current climate has led to increased burnout and high rates of exit among educators. While the challenge is great, we can help your district support and grow the incredible talent you have — and make your district the destination for new talent.

Leadership is an art, and every artist needs time and discipline to hone their craft. Like any specialist, educational leaders need the opportunity to gain skills and build habits that will help them implement lasting change in their districts.

At Education Elements, we take a systems approach to educational leadership development, leveraging both individual and team learning to inspire innovative leadership and help new leaders emerge.

Organizational Leadership to Support District Operations

We work with states to support district teams, increasing alignment and collaboration.

District teams benefit from support in implementing components of a strategic plan, monitoring progress of initiatives, utilizing funding to strategically support programs, and building practices to bring district and statewide initiatives to life.

Leading Change Through Teams

By building your leadership capacity, you will establish the foundation needed to support teachers and leaders to more fully design, implement, and sustain innovation in their classrooms and work.

Your team will realize a shared vision and learn how to drive equitable outcomes across diverse and complex learning organizations.

Today, many school districts struggle with DRIP syndrome: they are Data Rich and Information Poor. Some may collect data to check a box, others may be inconsistent, or organize the data in silos.

At Education Elements, we help you evaluate your current data culture to help you make more informed and more equitable decisions about how to improve educational experiences and outcomes for all students. We can support you to develop new systems and mindsets around data, elevate student voice and agency through evidence-based data collection, monitor and improve instructional effectiveness, and measure progress towards district strategic plan and school improvement goals.

• Student & Families Surveys

We believe that highlighting student voice can create positive change in districts. Through our student surveys, you can gather students’ perspectives about teaching practices, student engagement and mindsets, peer support, SEL, school climate, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Family and community voice via our Family Surveys provide input from parents and guardians about school climate, diversity, equity, and inclusion, parent satisfaction, barriers to family engagement as well as other key indicators.

Teacher & Staff Surveys

Whether you’re rolling out a new initiative, or trying to gauge how to support your teachers, our teacher surveys capture information about school quality, climate and teacher perceptions of instructional leadership and can gather feedback from beginning teachers about key challenges they are experiencing to support retention.

We have dedicated consultants in all the following five segments of the education sector:    

Government and foundations growth strategy

Covid-19 pandemic quickly revealed the huge inequities in our educational system and pointed to specific societal needs that now can no longer be ignored. Many federal and state organizations and foundations based in the educational sector are now evolving short and long-term strategies to reform our educational system. Known as a leading strategy organization in this space, EY-Parthenon helps institutions develop an overall growth strategy with 1) detailed execution plans to combat these issues; and 2) hands-on support to facilitate success.

Pre-K-12 systems and schools

Higher education institutions

EY-Parthenon teams help higher education institutions transform and thrive in ways that are both practical and sustainable. Some of the many services we provide include identifying opportunities for differentiation, optimizing the education delivery and service model, developing efficient and sustainable organizational structures and managing transformative processes through partnerships or collaborations.

What Does an Education Consultant Do?

They can work independently, for consulting firms, or as part of educational institutions.

They assist schools, educational institutions, and families by providing strategies and techniques to enhance student’s learning and academic performance.

This may involve analyzing test scores, implementing training programs for teachers, or developing new curriculums.

Education Consultants are often responsible for identifying and addressing education-related issues, such as low student performance or outdated curriculum.

They propose effective solutions based on best practices and current research in the field of education.

They also advise on educational policies, school programs, and teaching methods, and provide guidance on the use of technology and digital tools in education.

Education Consultants may also work with parents to offer advice on their child’s education, including special education services or college admissions guidance.

Overall, the role of an Education Consultant is to ensure that all students are provided with an effective and relevant education that prepares them for their future.

Education Consultant Experience Requirements

Education consultants generally have a background in education, with many holding a bachelor’s or master’s degree in an education-related field.

They often have several years of experience working in an educational setting, such as a school or university, where they gain valuable insights into the education system.

Experience in specific areas of education such as special education, curriculum development or school administration can be especially beneficial for an Education Consultant role.

This experience allows them to provide expert advice on these topics to schools, educators, and parents.

Most entry-level education consultant roles require a minimum of 3 to 5 years of experience in an educational setting.

Candidates with more experience, typically over 7 years, are often considered for senior or managerial positions within consulting firms or educational institutions.

These individuals often have a track record of success in improving educational outcomes, managing educational programs, or implementing education policy.

Prior experience in a consulting role, though not always required, can be a significant advantage.

This experience can demonstrate a candidate’s ability to work with a variety of clients, manage projects, and effectively communicate recommendations.

In addition to direct experience, many education consultants also have a strong foundation in educational research, allowing them to stay up-to-date with the latest educational trends, techniques, and best practices.

This research experience can be gained through academic studies, professional development, or as part of previous roles in education.

Education Consultant Education and Training Requirements

Education Consultants typically have a bachelor’s degree in education, counseling, psychology, or a related field.

They are expected to have a deep understanding of curriculum design, teaching methodologies, and educational psychology, gained through coursework and practical experiences during their degree program.

Some positions may require Education Consultants to have a teaching or administrative license, especially when working in a school setting.

This often means they have spent time working as teachers or administrators and have met the state’s requirements for licensure, which typically includes passing an exam.

Continuing education is also essential for Education Consultants, as the field of education is constantly evolving.

This may involve attending professional development workshops, earning certifications in specific areas like special education or bilingual education, or staying updated with the latest research and trends in education.

They may also need to have experience in a particular education setting, such as K-12 public schools, colleges, or private educational institutions, depending on the specific needs of the job.
