Organizational Assessment and Diagnostics
Organizational Assessment and Diagnostics at Wilson and Associates provides leaders with a clear, evidence based understanding of how culture, policies, and practices are experienced across the organization. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including interviews, surveys, focus groups, and document review, we identify strengths, risks, and misalignments that impact trust, performance, and well being. Our assessments translate data into practical insights, equipping leadership with a focused roadmap to strengthen accountability, improve decision making, and create sustainable organizational change aligned with stated values and strategic goals.

Leadership Coaches Retreats
Leadership Coaches Retreats are designed to help coaches navigate complexity with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Drawing on deep experience in organizational well being, emotional intelligence, and transformative leadership, our coaching retreats support senior coaches, new coaches, and emerging coaches in strengthening self-awareness and interpersonal effectiveness. We work closely with each coach to align breakouts sessions with coaching style within a culture of care. The result is a practical, values-driven experience that builds energy, drives results, and sustains long-term success.

Research
We evaluate legal, regulatory, and policy issues affecting schools, universities, research institutions, and academic programs with a focus on governance, compliance, and institutional risk. Our work examines statutory and regulatory obligations, funding and contracting considerations, and policy impacts on academic operations, research activities, and program administration. This analysis provides clear, practical guidance to help educational institutions navigate complexity while advancing their missions with confidence and integrity.

Policy Development
We craft evidence based policy analysis, guidance, and recommendations designed to support informed and responsible decision making in complex and evolving environments. Our work integrates legal review, data driven assessment, and contextual understanding to evaluate options, anticipate consequences, and clarify tradeoffs. This approach enables leaders and organizations to make sound, well reasoned decisions grounded in objective analysis and practical insight.

Dispute Resolution
We review arbitration, mediation, and negotiation processes to assess risk, evaluate procedural structure, and anticipate potential outcomes without providing legal representation. Our analysis focuses on process design, strategic considerations, and alignment with organizational objectives, helping parties understand implications, identify options, and prepare for informed engagement. This work supports clarity, preparedness, and effective decision making while maintaining independence and discretion.
