EdTech Strategy Consulting

Strategic planning for digital growth requires deep institutional reflection. This service is designed for leadership teams at a critical crossroads in online learning—specifically those tasked with maturing a Lilly Endowment Pathways for Tomorrow initiative or launching a new digital program. We act as your strategic guide, moving you away from present-focused technology purchasing toward a disciplined, mission-centric approach to digital expansion.

We help leadership teams evaluate the turning points that determine the long-term viability of their online programs:

  • The Investment Crossroads: Providing a neutral, technical perspective on potential new platforms (LMS, AI, or CRM) to ensure they are a fit for your mission and your actual human capacity.

  • The Programmatic Crossroads: Moving from "pilot projects" to the launch of intentional, online-only degree or certificate programs that require a permanent level of technical and administrative rigor.

  • The Mission Crossroads: Ensuring that new digital architecture enhances your school’s unique theological identity rather than forcing your faculty to adapt to a generic software's limitations.

    **Choose the EdTech Optimization Audit to refine and streamline your current digital tools; choose EdTech Strategy Consulting to design the roadmap for a new program launch or a major technological pivot.

  • This consulting service moves your leadership team through a structured discernment process to produce an actionable roadmap:

    • The Vision & Program Logic: We facilitate a deep-dive conversation to identify the unique "formational" goals of your new or evolving online program. We listen to the vision first so the technology serves the mission.

    • The Feasibility & Scalability Review: We stress-test your proposed digital steps against institutional reality. We evaluate the total cost of ownership and the practical impact on your faculty and staff workflows.

    • The Strategic Priority Presentation: Tumbuh provides a Strategic Decision Framework that synthesizes our findings into a clear roadmap. This deliverable serves as your internal "Go/No-Go" filter for future investments and sets a prioritized timeline for launch.

    *Note: This specific service includes these three core sessions. Any extended support, assessments, or referrals requested after the final presentation are billed as separate consulting contracts.

  • Rather than simply comparing software features, our strategic process evaluates the critical intersections between your mission and your infrastructure. We concentrate on three key areas:

    • Investment Stress-Testing: We provide a neutral, technical perspective on potential new tools (LMS, AI, or CRM), evaluating them for institutional fit and total cost of ownership. We help you move beyond marketing promises to understand the practical reality of the investment.

    • Mission-Pedagogy Alignment: We ensure that your digital architecture supports your unique theological identity. Whether your mission emphasizes communal discernment, pastoral formation, or academic rigor, your technology should enhance—not hinder—your core call.

    • Capacity & Workflow Analysis: We assess the human cost of new technology. We analyze whether your proposed digital expansion is sustainable given your current staffing levels, or if it will create "hidden" administrative burdens for your faculty and staff.

  • While this service is most often initiated by the President, Provost, or Chief Financial Officer, we encourage leaders to communicate with their Educational Technologists throughout the process. Their perspective is vital to ensuring the executive vision is grounded in technical realities.

    This is the ideal choice for leadership teams who are about to commit significant institutional or grant funds and want to ensure those investments are disciplined, sustainable, and high-impact.
