Education
School boards need answers, not another vendor assessment.
Education boards and councils carry governance duties over ICT they cannot independently see: student data protection, duty-of-care systems, and budgets under permanent pressure. Internal teams are too close to the arrangements; vendor assessments carry obvious conflicts. Our principals have delivered exactly this work in the sector, including a 17-recommendation independent review for a Queensland school board and the strategy-foundation review for a Queensland university.
Student Data & Safeguarding
Student records and welfare systems carry obligations a self-assessment cannot discharge.
Council Governance Duties
Boards and councils are asked to sign off ICT investment with no independent baseline to sign against.
Fee-Pressure Budgets
Every wasted ICT dollar competes directly with teaching. Benchmarking is the fastest defensible saving.
Digital Learning Ambitions
Digital teaching strategies fail on infrastructure and governance long before pedagogy.
What our reviews keep finding
- Support arrangements unbenchmarked against comparable schools
- Infrastructure risk in backup, recovery and security posture
- Governance gaps between council expectations and ICT reality
- Investment priorities reset around teaching outcomes, not vendor catalogues
