A large research university engaged ALG to assess the structure and operations of an entire school, with a focus on administrative effectiveness and role clarity. The institution had grown rapidly and needed to ensure its organizational model could support its ambitions going forward.

ALG conducted stakeholder interviews across the school, reviewed more than 120 roles and responsibilities, and produced a comprehensive organizational assessment grounded in staff input. The engagement resulted in a clearer organizational plan, more rationalized titles and reporting structures, and actionable recommendations for change management — giving leadership a credible, collaborative path to the structure the institution needed.

A cohort of newly appointed department chairs at two leading research universities found themselves navigating the full complexity of academic leadership — managing conflict, building consensus, leading people who had recently been peers — without formal preparation for the role.

ALG designed tailored coaching programs combining one-on-one coaching, peer learning, and structured reflection. Participants reported stronger self-awareness, more effective conflict resolution, and measurably improved departmental performance.

A globally recognized business school had defined a clear growth ambition for its executive education portfolio and needed external data and perspective to pressure-test assumptions and sharpen positioning.

ALG delivered competitive benchmarking, trend analysis, and stakeholder engagement — producing a data-driven strategic roadmap that enabled leadership to refine its offering and sustain competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving market. The institution entered its planning cycle with confidence in both the direction and the evidence behind it.

A prestigious life sciences research institute sought to build leadership capacity among its junior faculty and fellows — scientists at the early stages of independent research careers who were taking on lab leadership and team management responsibilities without formal preparation for the role.

ALG designed a six-month leadership development program combining individual coaching, structured workshops, and mentor-supported goal alignment. Participants built stronger leadership, communication, and team management skills — improving both individual effectiveness and overall lab performance.

A leading professional organization for women in engineering and STEM sought to deepen the leadership development component of its flagship program by adding a structured coaching element to build lasting leadership capability among a cohort of high-potential women leaders.

ALG partnered to design and deliver a strengths-based coaching program that strengthened leadership skills, expanded professional networks, and built peer connections that extended well beyond the program itself. The engagement earned a 2023 Brandon Hall Gold Award — external recognition for excellence in leadership development.

A leading research university's faculty leadership had defined a clear strategic direction — but stakeholder differences and competing priorities had stalled progress before the plan could take hold. The team had the vision and the commitment; what was missing was the structured process to build shared ownership across a complex, distributed faculty.

ALG engaged the leadership team through facilitated workshops and change management support, creating the space needed to surface disagreements constructively, build genuine alignment, and develop a unified strategy with strong faculty buy-in. The engagement moved a stalled effort forward — positioning the institution for successful implementation with the alignment needed to sustain it.

A donor-funded center at a major public research university was in its early growth phase with an innovative academic vision already defined. The team needed expert partnership to translate that vision into a scalable organizational structure and a concrete new academic offering.

ALG engaged stakeholders across the institution, conducted organizational analysis, and co-developed an updated strategy — including a proposal for a new interdisciplinary minor — that aligned the center's mission with sustainable institutional growth.
