Bailey brings the outside perspective your division needs. He knows where to look, what to ask, and how to give you cover to make the changes you already know need to happen.
You’re learning the job, reading the culture, and deciding where to make change — simultaneously. Move too fast and you lose the room. Move too slowly and you lose credibility.
Bailey’s divisional reviews give new SSAOs language and evidence to support changes they already know need to happen. When the recommendation comes from an outside consultant’s report, it gives leaders cover to act — and gives staff a reason to accept it.
A structured organizational assessment using the W.O.R.R.T.H.Y. model — entire division, functional area, or specific department.

Seven domains. One organizing question. The proprietary framework behind every divisional review Bailey conducts.
Are the right people in the right seats with the right training?
Is the division making best use of its human and financial resources?
How do you take care of the people who take care of the students?
Is the organization agile enough to incorporate new tools and new mindsets to adapt to changing internal and external forces/conditions?

Bailey grew up in inner-city Philadelphia, raised by his mother and grandmother. He was a first-generation college student at IUP — and eventually the SSAO who knows what it looks like from the top of the org chart.
He’s led divisions at regional public universities and Research 1 institutions. His Ph.D. with a cognate in Organizational Development is the academic foundation under a career built on helping students succeed and divisions function at their best.
