Project Portfolio
Research Strategy Consulting
A private university in Kazakhstan has embarked on a journey to become a research university and has sought guidance in developing its research strategy and specific policies. This ongoing project focuses on creating a comprehensive research strategy along with a set of accompanying policies. These policies aim to strengthen partnerships between the university’s faculty and scholars worldwide, boost publication productivity, attract external financing, enhance doctoral programs, and improve the university’s rankings.
University Transformation Project
This one-year project involved revising the university’s strategy, restructuring its operations, updating academic programs, and strengthening research capacity. Labor market research was conducted using big data from the largest job search platform, along with interviews with employers and focus groups with alumni, to identify employers’ requirements. The findings from this research informed the revision of programs, course learning outcomes, and teaching methodologies. Program coordinators and academic staff participated in extensive training as part of the project. Toward the completion of the main phase, the consultant was invited to join the university’s board to oversee the implementation of the new strategy.
Market Research for Overseas Investment
This project involved conducting higher and secondary education market research and organizing site visits to support the establishment of a UK university campus in a developing country. The research included a comprehensive market analysis to assess the feasibility of the investment in the target country. Meetings with school management teams and visits to local university campuses were organized to provide the client with firsthand insights into the new market. Additionally, discussions with owners of international schools and school counselors proved instrumental in evaluating the market potential for a foreign university campus. As a result of these efforts, the client successfully launched a new campus in the developing country.
