Collaborative Consulting Model

The Athena Collaborative - Partners in Education Innovation delivers products and services through a lens of collaborative consulting. We are a professional learning collaborative providing services that innovate education using best practices in evaluation, research and continuous improvement.

 

Collaborative consulting is a professional service approach where consultants work closely with clients to co-create solutions. This method emphasizes partnership, shared vision, and mutual learning. Key features of collaborative consulting include:

​

  1. Partnership: Consultants and clients work as equals, leveraging each other's knowledge and expertise.

  2. Co-Creation: Solutions are developed together, ensuring they are tailored to the client's unique needs and context.

  3. Engagement: Active involvement of all stakeholders to gather diverse perspectives and foster buy-in.

  4. Capacity Building: Focus on empowering the client by building their skills and knowledge to sustain improvements.

  5. Iterative Process: Continuous feedback and adaptation throughout the consulting engagement to ensure relevance and effectiveness.
