Coral Springs, FL (PRWEB) January 20, 2016 -- Have you ever wondered if you could do something that would really change the world? Andrew Davies, Chief Executive Officer of Strategic Planning Online, a South Florida technology company, believes that he can; in fact it’s actually part of the company’s mission statement. Focused on improving learning outcomes for higher education students, Mr. Davies and his team believe that they can help colleges and universities to give students a better chance to succeed in the real world. “Strategic Planning Online can help institutions to better prepare students for the challenges and opportunities that await them in the workforce, empowering them to have a greater impact on the world,” Davies said.
