Geo Laws Consulting is on a three-part mission to provide:

 1. COEO Role Awareness

• Bring awareness to the complexity of operating online programs and the need to have an online learning leader at the helm.
• Promote the universal adoption of the COEO role terminology, making it possible for these leaders to find one another.
• Help create a home base for COEOs, making it possible for these professionals to collaborate in research, practice, and advocacy.

2. COEO Role Calibration

• For institutions without a COEO, we endeavor to assist in the custom calibration and subsequent creation of the inaugural COEO position, and, if needed, serve as a stop-gap COEO, meeting the institution's online needs until a permanent COEO is hired.

3. Online Education Leadership Services

• For institutions with a COEO, we endeavor to provide mentoring and custom executive leadership development, helping COEOs develop in all their operational "lanes", with the overall goal for them to ensure compliance, create a positive online culture, run smooth operations, drive strategy with a sustainability mindset, and adopt innovations (such as artificial intelligence).
• For institutions where a non-COEO professional is tasked with overseeing online efforts (until enough revenue is generated to hire a COEO), we endeavor to provide support by filling any online education administration expertise or capacity gaps, while also assisting with any aspects of creating, operating,  troubleshooting, assessing, maintaining, evaluating, optimizing, and scaling up online programs, collaboratively laying a foundation for an upcoming COEO.
• Serve clients from any industry with any of our areas of expertise. 

Our vision is to drive the evolution of online education by: 

• leveraging technology and innovation to create equitable, engaging, and effective learning experiences for all;
• inspiring everyone to continually push the boundaries of what's possible in digital learning;
• helping all higher education institutions put in place a Chief Online Education Officer and set them up for success from the get-go.

1. Role Advocacy and Awareness: We believe in the critical role of the Chief Online Education Officer (COEO) in leading online learning initiatives. We strive to advocate for their importance, promote their role, and foster understanding and collaboration within this community.

2. Mentorship and Professional Development: We are dedicated to aiding institutions in defining and calibrating the COEO role according to their unique context and needs. We provide mentorship and professional development opportunities to new COEOs, equipping them with the skills necessary to create a positive culture and drive strategy.

3. Leadership in Online Education: We provide comprehensive online education leadership services, helping institutions and their COEOs meet regulatory expectations for online initiatives and achieve their strategic and operational goals.

4. Customized Excellence: We understand that each client is unique and requires tailored solutions. We are committed to offering bespoke online expertise to clients from any industry.

5. Innovation and Technology Adoption: We champion the adoption of innovative approaches and technologies, such as artificial intelligence, to enhance online education. We continuously explore ways to leverage these advancements to benefit our clients.

6. Integrity and Transparency: We maintain high standards of honesty and ethical conduct in our operations. We commit to transparency in our decisions and actions to build trust with our clients and stakeholders.

7. Collaborative Growth: We foster a culture of collaboration and collective intelligence. We encourage COEOs to share ideas and learn from each other to push the boundaries of online education.

8. DEI / Inclusive Access and Equity: We commit ourselves to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We work relentlessly to ensure our services help create accessible and equitable online learning experiences for all learners, regardless of their circumstances.

9. Lifelong Learning and Empowerment: We promote lifelong learning and inspire COEOs to continually develop their skills, adapt to change, and enhance their leadership capabilities.

10. Sustainability and Scalability: We are committed to creating sustainable solutions that help institutions effectively maintain, operate, and scale up their online programs. We ensure our decisions consider social, economic, and environmental impacts.

11. Kaizen / Continuous Improvement and Efficiency: Rooted in the philosophy of Kaizen, we are committed to continuous learning, adaptation, and improvement at every level of our organization. We strive to constantly enhance our processes, services, and personal competencies to deliver the most efficient and effective solutions to our clients. We believe that small, daily improvements accumulate to produce significant, impactful changes over time, driving us toward our goal of shaping the future of online education.

12. CSR / Societal Impact and Responsibility: We recognize our responsibility not just to our clients, but also to society at large. As an organization, we are committed to using our resources and influence to make a positive impact on the communities we serve. We promote responsible and sustainable practices in online education that contribute to social development and environmental preservation. Furthermore, we strive to provide education opportunities for underprivileged and underserved communities, upholding our belief in the power of equitable and accessible education for all.

13. Pay It Forward / Generosity and Forward-Thinking: We believe in the principle of 'paying it forward' - one good deed might not seem like much, but if everyone does something good for someone else, then the cycle of generosity and kindness can spark change. In our context, this extends to sharing knowledge, mentorship, resources, and opportunities to help others grow. We strive to cultivate a culture where each learning opportunity, each success, isn't just an endpoint but the beginning of another's journey. By paying it forward, we are not only promoting a positive culture but also ensuring a ripple effect of continuous learning and development within the online-education community.
