Designed for leadership teams responsible for measurable improvement.
Most Schools Don’t Fail from Lack of Effort.
They Fail from Broken Systems.
AKOMA Consulting Group helps school and district leaders fix the systems that drive execution, so priorities become measurable results, not stalled
initiatives.
18+ years of experience across school, district, and state systems in the U.S. and internationally.
Common patterns we see:
- Too many initiatives. No clear priorities.
- Decisions are discussed but not implemented.
- Data is collected but not used.
- Roles exist, but accountability doesn’t.
The result isn’t confusion; it’s stalled progress, leadership fatigue, and declining outcomes.
We don’t add more strategies to your plate.
We fix the infrastructure your leadership team relies on to execute.
Without systems, even the best leaders stall.
We Fix What Drives Execution.
We don’t just identify these issues; we install systems that eliminate them.
Data that exists but doesn’t drive action
Inconsistent accountability across teams
Initiative overload that stalls progress
Execution breakdowns across leadership teams
Competing priorities that dilute impact
Unclear roles and decision-making authority

Testimonial:
During my time working in the IZone (MSCS Transformational), Mrs. Pilliner's exceptional organization, attention to detail, and strong leadership kept our team focused on providing high-quality coaching, professional development, and support to priority high schools.
Under her leadership, our work contributed to priority high schools increasing student achievement and growth, with some of the schools successfully being removed from the state’s priority list. She consistently ensured that our efforts remained purposeful, strategic, and centered on improving outcomes for students and schools.
Her guidance strengthened our team’s impact while also helping shape and develop me professionally, enhancing my leadership skills, confidence, and ability to support others effectively.

Mission & Vision
About Us
AKOMA Consulting Group partners with school and district leaders to fix the systems that keep results from taking hold.
Most schools struggle not because of a lack of effort, but because of fragmented initiatives, unclear priorities, and inconsistent execution. AKOMA helps leadership teams diagnose where breakdowns occur and build the structures needed for focus, alignment, and sustained performance.
Our work goes beyond planning. We redesign how leadership teams operate, clarifying decision-making, strengthening accountability, and embedding systems that translate strategy into consistent action.
By addressing root causes rather than surface-level symptoms, AKOMA enables schools to move from initiative overload and stalled progress to clear direction, aligned execution, and results that stick.

We tell the truth about what isn’t working. Our work is grounded in honesty, clarity, and a commitment to solving the right problems, not to protecting ineffective practices.
We support leaders in building systems that ensure consistency and access, not variability, so all students receive high-quality instruction regardless of classroom or context.
We work alongside leadership teams as thought partners and problem-solvers, building internal ownership rather than dependency.
