Untethered Education

Launching a new program in the online learning space can be costly. Partnering with a trusted eLearning consultant during the initial planning stage is crucial for creating a successful program that aligns with institutional needs. Available solutions include the Untethered Launch Plan, program feasibility studies to ensure new offerings meet market demands, and business plans to help monitor the return on investment (ROI) for each program. Making a small investment at the outset can be the key factor between success and a costly failure.

Beginning any journey starts with taking the first step, and having a detailed launch plan is crucial for success. The Untethered Launch Plan is a proprietary transformation process that:  

1. Assesses the current status of the organization and outlines the necessary transformations to align with industry standards. 

2. Ensures that the proposed programs meet market needs and support the institution's overall enrollment goals. 

3. Includes a comprehensive business plan that estimates when the programs will break even and start delivering a return on investment. 

4. Offers strategic consulting to ensure the successful implementation of the launch plan by collaborating with your team throughout the process.   This structured approach is designed to facilitate a successful launch.

Sometimes, a fresh start is necessary, and that’s perfectly fine. We can assist in revitalizing existing programs that may have lost their appeal or are not yielding the necessary return on investment (ROI) for sustainable online learning. As an eLearning consulting practice, we can evaluate your portfolio of current programs and identify where to best allocate your institutional resources for maximum impact.
