LSI helps tertiary and vocational education providers strengthen their operational models, service processes and support functions so students and staff receive a more consistent and effective experience.
We work alongside leaders and teams to improve service delivery, simplify processes and create clarity across roles and responsibilities. Every engagement focuses on measurable improvement, stronger capability and lasting value across the student and staff journey.
Understanding The Challenge
Tertiary and vocational education providers operate in environments that are complex, diverse and continually evolving. Providers must meet the needs of learners, employers and communities while managing funding constraints, regulatory expectations and rising demand for flexible learning options.
Operational challenges often arise from inconsistent processes, unclear responsibilities or limited visibility across student support functions. Manual handovers, variable workflows and disconnected systems can slow enrolment or reduce the quality of support for students and staff. These challenges can affect learner outcomes, staff workload and the overall experience across the institution.
LSI partners with tertiary and vocational providers to strengthen the operational systems that support education delivery. We help clarify responsibilities, refine workflows, strengthen reporting and improve coordination across support services, teaching functions and administrative teams. Our work supports providers to operate with greater consistency, responsiveness and confidence.
Common Challenges We Help Solve
Across tertiary and vocational education, we often help clients address challenges such as:
- Variable or inconsistent processes that affect enrolment, support or service delivery.
- Workforce and workload pressure created by unclear responsibilities or manual tasks.
- Slow response times caused by disconnected teams or inconsistent handovers.
- Limited visibility of performance or risk that restricts improvement.
- Disconnected systems or channels that create duplication or delay.
How We Work In This Sector
Our work follows LSI’s Diagnose → Design → Deliver approach, ensuring each recommendation leads to practical and lasting improvement.
1.
Diagnose
2.
Design
We co-design solutions with leaders, support teams and teaching groups, aligning processes, roles and service pathways to support reliable and consistent delivery. Insights are translated into models that improve coordination, reporting and decision-making across the organisation.

Deliver
Where We Create Value
Our work spans key opportunity areas for tertiary and vocational providers:
- Strengthening support processes to improve student and staff experiences.
- Improving enrolment, advisory and administrative workflows.
- Creating clearer governance and responsibility across teams.
- Improving coordination between teaching, support and administrative functions.
- Strengthening reporting for better visibility of performance and risk.
These areas support institutions to deliver high-quality education experiences in an environment that requires responsiveness, reliability and strong service leadership.
