Through years of higher education consulting, Credo’s team saw patterns emerge in both the struggles and accomplishments of the schools we served. Over time, nine elements emerged as key drivers for success at those institutions, and became the The Thriving Framework®. From Courageous Leadership to Transformative Environments, The Thriving Framework® provides a powerful lens through which we view institutional health.
We believe in independent higher education—in its lasting impact on lives, its ability to transform individuals and the world.
We believe in lifting colleges higher—by developing holistic strategies; by seamlessly integrating practical tools to meet enrollment issues, control financial challenges, and address facility concerns; while embracing traditions, history and culture.
With a greater focus on—and commitment to—the entire institution, environments can be transformed, positive lasting experiences created, people elevated, and results realized.
We do this to strengthen and ensure the longevity of independent higher education.
We believe it is our responsibility to provide passionate and caring service to each other and to our clients. Rich and long-term relationships are important to us, and we believe they grow out of this value.
We believe good leadership is courageous. We will do what is right to empower our clients and each other to thrive. We are committed to confronting issues and people with grace, inclusiveness and an open mind. We will choose to act in the face of fear for a higher purpose
We believe in practical solutions that have the most possibility of being implemented. We are committed to inform the design of practical solutions with current research. We are committed to a learning culture, holding us accountable to discover and share the most appropriate and best practice knowledge with each other and with our clients.
We believe in nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit in each other and in our clients and will support each other as we explore new ideas using a defined and research-based system of evaluation. We will embrace failure as a natural outcome of collaborative risk-taking and will commit to strategically applying our learning to a renewed entrepreneurial initiative.
We believe meeting revenue goals provides the freedom necessary to accomplish our mission with enthusiasm and without distraction. We are committed to ethical accountability to each other, and good stewardship of funds invested in us by trusting clients.
