What we do
Since 2011, HEADway Advisory has been a trusted strategic partner to higher education institutions (HEIs)
Thanks to the support of our clients, who are the pillar of our success, we are now France’s leading strategic consulting firm exclusively dedicated to higher education and research institutions. We are based in Paris but work at the international scale.
Founded and managed by former higher education leaders, we have the unique ability to provide our clients with both strategic and operational insights thanks to our unparalleled expertise and experience. We pride ourselves on the trust placed in us by prestigious brands from across the sector (business schools, engineering schools, public and private institutions, design schools, hospitality schools, research and teaching institutions, etc.). We accompany these institutions in the development of their strategic plans, helping them to emphasise their distinction, reach new goals and markets, create new products/services, renew their quality assurance labels and processes, and transform their organisation.
Our mission has remained unchanged for the past 10 years: to drive the development of higher education and research institutions.
