Collaborative Brain Trust (CBT) Information

Built for higher education. By people who lived it. CBT was founded by higher education professionals who saw a gap in the ecosystem, and built something to fill it. Not another consulting firm. A curated network of practitioners who've actually held the roles. CBT launched in 2008 in one of the most difficult moments in higher education's recent history. While institutions were left to navigate the financial crisis largely alone, we were there. Providing experienced, steady counsel when it was needed most. That commitment has never wavered. Through every challenge that followed, CBT has shown up not with generic playbooks, but with practitioners who understand the terrain and partners who stay the course. Seventeen years later, we're still here. And so are the institutions we serve.
