From 77 bidders to 3 finalists. The journey brought us to Lexington, Virginia. 🇺🇸
SERVE Advisory Group leaders, alongside our Subject Matter Experts from the Institute 4 , traveled to the historic Virginia Military Institute (VMI) to present our oral proposal before VMI leadership and procurement professionals.
Being selected as one of three finalists from a field of 77 bidders is an achievement we are proud of—but more importantly, it gave us the opportunity to share how our team approaches the work that matters: developing leaders, strengthening organizations, building cohesion, and turning insight into meaningful action.
VMI's Leadership Development Consultant initiative seeks to strengthen leadership development, organizational communication, collaboration, innovation, and institutional effectiveness.
Those objectives align closely with what SERVE Advisory Group and the Institute 4 Priority Thinking bring to organizations: experienced leaders, proven practitioners, thoughtful assessment, and strategies built for execution—not just presentation.
From the drive into Lexington…
To walking into Francis H. Smith Hall…
To standing before VMI's leadership team…
We came prepared to SERVE.
We are grateful for the opportunity to compete, collaborate, and demonstrate what our team can bring to one of America's historic institutions of leadership.
77 bidders. 3 finalists. One mission: develop leaders and strengthen organizations.
