Reimagining Career Services in Action

At TSI, we help institutions turn vision into reality. By aligning Career Services with institutional priorities and stakeholder needs, we co-create models that deliver measurable, lasting impact.

Imagine if Career Services Became Central to Student Success

A mid-sized private university integrated career readiness into the curriculum, strengthened employer partnerships, and doubled student engagement within a year—positioning Career Services as a strategic driver of institutional value.

Imagine if Employers Became Partners in Learning

A regional public university transformed employer engagement from transactional to strategic, expanding talent pipelines through advisory councils, digital tools, and project-based learning.

Imagine if Data Told the Story of Impact

A large research institution unified fragmented career outcomes data, creating dashboards that improved reporting, informed decision-making, and elevated national visibility.

Career Services is most powerful when every stakeholder—students, alumni, employers, faculty, advancement, and leadership—sees themselves as part of a shared ecosystem of learning, opportunity, and purpose.

— Dr. Jessica Mansbach, Former Director of the Faculty Center for Ignatian Pedagogy at Loyola University Chicago and TSI Consultant

TSI worked with us to complete a strategic technology assessment, which included the difficult task of coordinating and articulating our vision and strategy for new technology. The project was a great success: they ensured that everyone participated in the process, that all voices were heard, and that deliverables were on-time and distributed to all participants for thoughtful feedback. On a day-to-day basis, TSI was enthusiastic and dedicated to our work, always demonstrating that our success is their success. They have acted as key advisors to me and as coaches for the entire project team. We so enjoyed working with the TSI team and hope to continue to do so in the future.

Senior Director, Analytics and Business Intelligence • The University of Chicago

Transforming Solutions, Inc. proved to be very adept in creating strategic and practical approaches to our complex improvement project. They gathered data efficiently and effectively, creating buy-in amongst our faculty and staff as they did so. Dan and Alan did this by spending a considerable amount of time on our campuses working directly with groups of our staff and faculty. Ultimately, TSI presented us with a detailed process map of our communications, identified key areas for productive improvement, and worked with us to tailor their final recommendations to our specific needs. The team of TSI does the job and does it well.

California State University – SLO

TSI joined the UF team at an important inflection point. We were in the very early stages of asking ourselves what ‘next’ looked like for our fundraising program and what technology ecosystem would be required to actualize it. Dan and his team led us through an extensive planning and preparation process that set us up for success in the implementation of our new CRM and the associated platforms. In the planning and preparation phase, we worked with Dan to develop visioning statements, create a roadmap, and secure funding.

Assistant Vice President • University of Florida Advancement

I really enjoyed working with TSI, particularly, I loved the way you ran the brainstorming sessions early on, which can sometimes be extremely disorganized if not done right. I respect and admire your ability and instinct to facilitate discussions and to tease out useful information. I believe your success is a result of natural ability, and lots of hard work and preparation. I’d love to stay connected and to serve as a resource if I can be of value to the things you do.
