Most projects begin with a simple conversation. Not with forms, not with questionnaires — just a professional dialogue about where your university is now and where it could go.

At this stage, I help you see which format of collaboration would bring the most value:

• Current State Diagnostic (Praxis Index) — a snapshot of your international positioning today.
• Future Readiness Assessment (Praxis Future Index) — how prepared your university is for the next 3–5 years.
• Development Model Design — a tailored roadmap for transformation.
• Strategic Advisory — ongoing expert support for your international office.

How to start?

Simply send me an email. Tell me about your university, your challenges, your goals — even if they're not fully formed yet.

I'll read your message personally and respond with:

• My initial thoughts on your situation.
• Suggestions for possible next steps.
• Questions that might help us both see the picture more clearly.
• No forms. No auto-replies. Just a conversation.

What to include in your message (if it helps):

If you're not sure what to write, here are some prompts:

• What is your university's current international strategy (if any)?
• What challenge brought you here today?
• What would success look like in 12 months?

But honestly — just write whatever feels true. I'll meet you there.

Confidentiality

All inquiries are treated with strict confidentiality. Nothing you share will be disclosed to third parties.

I look forward to hearing from you.
