Schedule a BriefingExecutive Brief
GMI gives organizations a governed structure for designing, supporting, measuring, and improving mentoring across cohorts, departments, campuses, or enterprise programs.
Built for universities, employers, funders, and partners that need mentoring to be governable, measurable, and repeatable.
90-Day Scope
GMI can help define the audience, governance rules, mentor preparation, IMPACT workflows, and measurement plan for a focused institutional pilot.
Infrastructure Need
Mentoring can begin informally, but institutions cannot scale it responsibly through goodwill alone. As programs grow across departments, campuses, employers, funders, and partner networks, organizations need shared standards, governed workflows, participant preparation, ethical boundaries, assessment-informed support, and evidence they can use.
The institutional problem
GMI helps organizations move mentoring from isolated program activity to a repeatable operating model that leaders, funders, practitioners, mentors, and mentees can trust.
Programs depend on local enthusiasm instead of a shared operating model.
Quality varies across departments, sites, roles, and cohorts.
Role confusion, privacy questions, and ethical concerns emerge too late.
Leaders and funders struggle to see what changed and why it matters.
Quality becomes harder to protect as mentoring expands.
MBOK® aligns roles, ethics, competencies, practices, and expectations.
Clear operating rules support quality, safety, accessibility, and accountability.
Mentors and mentees enter the relationship with clearer expectations and support.
MLA and MEA insight can guide readiness, matching, development, and facilitation.
Reporting connects mentoring activity to learning, improvement, and funding decisions.
