Education Directions Ltd (ED) interprets the policy and strategic environment in which New Zealand tertiary education operates, which helps clients make better decisions.

ED Advice provides customised consultancy service to help people make and implement strategic decisions in tertiary education. Our focus is on how your organisation interacts with the external environment.

ED Insider provides tertiary education intelligence. Many universities, ITPs, ITOs, PTEs, government agencies and other organisations subscribe to ED Insider to give them the strategic policy, industry and tertiary education information and analysis they need to make effective decisions.

ED Blog covers tertiary education news and views. It’s a free site that attracts 400-500 users a day, keeping them in touch with the wider tertiary education sector.

We don’t do lobbying or public advocacy work, as it would detract from our ability to provide independent advice through ED Insider, but we’re happy to point you in the direction of Wellington lobbyists.

Dave Guerin is the CEO/Education Strategist for ED and brings about 20 years of experience and expertise in tertiary education. He  knows the tertiary education world backwards, so his analysis will save you time and help you make better decisions.
