Our Approach
Define the Destination.
Determine the Path.
Deliver the Promise.
At Fortis Consulting, our work is guided by a simple but disciplined framework:
Define the Destination. Determine the Path. Deliver the Promise.
This framework reflects how we help boards and school leaders sequence long-range clarity, strategic alignment, and faithful execution.
Define the Destination
All Fortis engagements begin here.
A Destination Statement is a clear, concrete description of the school you are intentionally building toward over a defined horizon—typically 10, 15, or 20 years. It is more specific than a vision statement and more formative than a strategic plan goal.
If we are faithful and wise over time, this is what the school will look like.
Determine the Path
Once the destination is clear, strategy becomes disciplined rather than reactive.
This step translates long-range clarity into a realistic, sequenced path forward through strategic planning, financial alignment, and prioritization.
Deliver the Promise
Execution is where trust is built.
Delivering the promise requires healthy governance, leadership clarity, disciplined stewardship, and consistent follow-through.
In practice:
When a school is offered a generous facility opportunity in a location that does not align with its long-term destination, the Destination Statement gives the board clarity to decline—protecting focus, finances, and mission without unnecessary debate.
