LEAD CONSULTANT · MAÑKE CHILE
CONSULTING
With over 20 years of experience in innovative program development, teacher training, and curriculum design across diverse contexts, Karen works in a one-on-one format — analyzing, diagnosing, and proposing concrete, tailored solutions for each institution or individual.
Each process is personalized: it can be a focused short-term project or a longer-term accompaniment spanning a semester or a full school year cycle.
Consulting formats
Focused Project
A defined-scope engagement to address a specific challenge — designing a program, reviewing a curriculum unit, or building a risk management protocol.
2–8 WEEKS
Semester Accompaniment
Ongoing support across a full semester — regular sessions, iterative feedback, and co-design of materials as your team implements new practices.
4–6 MONTHS
Full School Year Cycle
A deep, sustained partnership across an entire academic year — diagnosis, planning, implementation support, and evaluation with your team.
8–10 MONTHS
Diagnostic Session
A single structured session to assess your institution's current practices, identify key challenges, and map a path forward with concrete recommendations.
1 SESSION
We work alongside your team.
Every consulting engagement is grounded in shared notebooks, walking conversations, and iterative drafts — not handed-down templates. Co-creation is what makes a program last.
Diagnosis
We begin with a deep listening session to understand your institution's context, current practices, values, and the specific challenge you're trying to solve.
Analysis & Proposal
Karen analyzes the inputs and proposes a concrete, tailored plan — with clear objectives, timeline, and deliverables adapted to your scope and budget.
Co-Design & Implementation
We work alongside your team — not for them. Co-creation ensures the solution is owned and sustained by the people who will use it.
Evaluation & Continuity
Every engagement closes with a structured review. We assess what worked, document learnings, and define next steps — whether a new cycle or an independent path forward.
"Technical rigor, genuine accompaniment, and deep respect for the context of each institution. Every process is different because every community is different."
