Accreditation or reaffirmation of accreditation requires vast resources, strategic planning, and meticulous preparation done several years in advance. These preparations are often carried out within the increasingly turbulent marketplace for higher education, characterized by increasing complexity, growing competition, and intensifying change to institutions of higher learning. We understand the challenges of an accreditation effort, the necessity of vast resources needed for these initiatives, and the pressure and stress faced by institutions, their administrators, faculty, and staff when going through accreditation or reaffirmation. At Accreditation.Biz, we embrace these challenges and help our clients overcome their limitations in order to reach new heights in the quality of education. Our clients trust us because we understand their needs and know what it takes to tackle the complexity of requirements for accreditation in the most efficient manner. We can offer every client a simple, customized solution that leads to accreditation in a cost effective and expedient manner.
Our clients are our partners, and we are committed to them. We take the time to listen to our clients and understand their institutions, programs, and processes. We combine this information with our experience, expertise, and innovativeness to deliver strategic accreditation solutions that meet clients’ needs. We want our clients to realize impact, real results, and growth. We promise to deliver 100% client satisfaction… every time. We are excited to be a trusted consultative partner in providing the planning and guidance to help your institution achieve and sustain accreditation.
The accreditation process is often compared to fixing an engine of a train that is running ahead full speed. Quite often, senior college and university leaders are very consumed with the tremendous work, leadership, and focus needed for managing ongoing operations of a business school. They have little time and resources available to be directed toward the accreditation process, despite its obvious strategic importance. The situation becomes even bleaker when a newly appointed dean or other senior leader is put in charge of the accreditation process without having sufficient time to properly transition into his or her new role. Regardless of the situation that you are facing, we at Accreditation.Biz would like to serve as a valuable “go to” resource for all matters related to accreditation of business schools and business education in general. While we specialize in assisting business schools with accreditation, our team of consultants has extensive knowledge and decades of experience in all matters of business education. We know that you have major goals and aspirations for your business school. You want to make sure that your partner of choice has successfully achieved these goals and aspirations for other business schools in the past and is actively engaged at present to achieve these for more institutions to achieve continued success for the future.
