Professional Executive Services
Colleges and universities like yours have new initiatives they want to design and implement throughout your organization. These initiatives aim to accomplish your operational and strategic goals; however, typically the project is assigned to a staff person who frequently carries more than a full load, so the new initiatives get lost in the day-to-day running of your institution.
Working through and with your institution’s leadership and stakeholders, Datatel’s Professional Executive Services can tailor your projects to meet the unique needs and characteristics of your institution. This includes: completing all follow-up paperwork, developing project drafts for stakeholder review, collecting feedback, and redrafting after each review until the project is finished and approved by the leadership team.
Key Executive Support Services Areas

Institutional Advancement: Legislative Relations, Grant Development, and Fundraising
Datatel has a vast amount of grant development experience and will work with faculty and staff to develop proposals that are consistent with budget priorities and your strategic plan, as well as enable your institution to fund important, mission-critical projects that otherwise would be set aside for lack of resources.
Developing Accreditation Self-Studies
We have personally worked with faculty and staff to develop self-studies that thoroughly document institutional achievement related to Regional Accreditation Standards. We are highly experienced in Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP).
Faculty and Staff Development Program Design
As higher education executive consultants, we have designed and implemented a nationally recognized and award-winning faculty and staff development program, and we use that expertise to assist institutions like yours create programs tailored to their unique needs.
Partnering with Datatel, your institution is essentially hiring experienced consultants who work directly for the project leader so the result is part of the fabric of your institution —not just an outsider’s view of what your institution needs. Datatel’s Professional Executive Services Consultants have extensive, personal experience in executive roles within higher education, i.e., CEO, vice chancellor, and vice president positions. As experienced higher education executives, they have personally and successfully dealt with the same challenges you cope with daily, and understand how to support an executive to get organizational buy-in for implementing newinitiatives and delivering tangible, measurable results.
