About A&M
Education and Non-Profit
As many states across the U.S. face mounting budget deficits, public school systems and universities are struggling with significantly reduced budgets, as a result of decreased state funding. With reduced budgets and growing operating costs, schools systems and institutions of higher education must find new ways to streamline resources, gain efficiencies, improve performance, and reduce and eliminate budget gaps. The ultimate goal is to divert resources away from sustaining bureaucracy and inject those funds back into the classroom.
Alvarez & Marsal has assisted both for-profit and non-profit clients in K-12 and higher education across the U.S. to implement long-term, sustainable and measurable change. Our professionals have helped management to transform the budgets and operations of some of the largest public school systems in the country, including the New York City Department of Education, St. Louis Public Schools, Washington, D.C. Public Schools, U.S. Virgin Islands, and the New Orleans Public Schools. Some of our notable higher education clients have included Columbia University, Antioch College Continuation Corporation (ACCC), and the University of Southern California/Keck School of Medicine. Unlike other management consulting firms focused on education systems, A&M’s professionals draw upon the firm’s 25-year operational heritage as a turnaround and performance improvement firm to place an emphasis on execution over analysis and results over recommendations.
A&M professionals have provided key leadership in the transformation of education systems by serving in senior management positions such as interim Superintendent, interim Chief Financial Officer, interim Chief Information Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Restructuring Officer.
