Why Choose Martin Stringer Consultancy?

Unlock Transformative Change in Higher Education:

With a decade of senior management experience at two leading universities, I offer higher education institutions a unique blend of strategic insight, operational expertise, and a proven track record in governance and organisational transformation. My consultancy services are designed to support universities and colleges in navigating complex challenges, driving sustainable change, and fostering cultures of excellence.

Our Services

Strategic Restructuring & Organisational Design

I have successfully led the restructuring of academic and professional service units at every scale—from individual departments to entire institutions. My approach ensures that motivations are transparent, processes are clearly communicated, and outcomes are both precise and achievable. I guide institutions through the most challenging aspects of change, including resource realignment and performance improvement, always with a focus on open communication and stakeholder engagement.

Rapid, Insightful Analysis

Drawing on advanced ethnographic research methods, I quickly assess organisational climates, identifying both surface-level issues and deeper structural concerns. This enables me to deliver actionable recommendations—whether through targeted investigations, formal external reviews, or bespoke advisory support.

Rebuilding Morale & Leadership Renewal

I have revitalised departments, faculties, and even whole universities following leadership transitions. My expertise in organisational culture, negotiation, and consensus-building helps restore trust, create shared vision, and foster inclusive environments where staff and students thrive.

Kindness-Driven Leadership Development

My leadership style is recognised for its humanity, compassion, and genuine commitment to listening. I help institutions move beyond impersonal managerialism, embedding kindness and empathy at the heart of management practice—qualities increasingly valued across the higher education sector.
