Education

We support governments and education institutions ranging from early childhood to schools, TAFEs and universities.

Education systems around the world are making smart investments to improve performance. We must continue to prepare all learners to thrive in work and life, and in complex and changing environments. But identifying quality and equity improvement strategies and realising them at scale is not easy.

We work with providers, policymakers, peak bodies and regulators operating across the full breadth of the education system – from early childhood education to schools, vocational education and training, universities and other higher education institutions.

Our work at a systems level helps governments to design and deliver impactful education policies and associated evaluation, regulation and funding. And our work with individual education providers supports their strategy development, operations, culture and transformation initiatives.

Our work in higher education is complemented by that of NousCubane, our education solutions business. Its suite of products, including the world leading UniForum program, gives university leaders the insights they need to solve some of their most pressing challenges and drive change in their organisation.

Our work includes

  • Early childhood education

    Leading early childhood providers must deliver outstanding educational services in the context of intense and growing demand, strict national standards and high cost pressures. We work with government agencies and major service providers to overcome these pressures and deliver better education outcomes at scale.

  • Schools

    Schools and government departments must work together to ensure the system is optimally structured and managed, and that teachers and principals are well-equipped to lead and inspire learners. We work with governments on education architecture and policy reform, with system managers to drive system-wide improvements, and with school leaders to improve performance, governance, strategy and parent engagement.

  • Vocational education

    As Australia grapples with digitisation and demographic changes, the vocational education system ensures our workforce meets students’ and employers’ needs. We work with vocational education and training providers, governments and industry on their biggest strategic challenges: system policy, institutional strategy, educational direction, student experience, operational performance and change through people.

  • Universities

    Across teaching, research, student experience and civic engagement, universities have a variety of functions that need to work in concert to deliver great outcomes. Together with our education solutions business, NousCubane, we work with universities to solve strategic challenges, drive performance, and build capability so they can deliver on their mission.

  • Government

    Governments play a significant role in fostering a dynamic and sustainable education system. We work with governments to access the data and develop the insights needed to shape the system to meet the needs of learners, employers, institutions and all of society.

  • Operational excellence

    The performance of an institution’s operations impacts its ability to fulfil its mission. We develop institutional capacity and capability to deliver exceptional outcomes. Our services include functional excellence and service design, system and process improvement, digital transformation, campus and asset utilisation, and financial performance.
