WAKEFIELD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 12, 2025--

Virtual, Inc., a leading professional services firm for membership-based organizations, today announced the launch of its Five Disciplines of Healthy Consortia — a new framework and customizable advisory program that helps leadership teams evaluate overall organizational effectiveness, identify improvement opportunities, and build actionable growth plans.

Developed by Virtual’s Strategic Advisory Team, the Five Disciplines of Healthy Consortia draws on the company’s 25+ years of experience partnering with global associations and consortia to drive growth, navigate change, and achieve sustainable success.

“Organizations want to ensure they’re operating at peak efficiency, but many lack the tools to evaluate how well they’re actually performing holistically,” said Ashley Costello, Head of Virtual’s Consortia Practice. “Virtual’s Five Disciplines of Healthy Consortia offers boards and consortia leaders a practical framework to measure their organization’s health, identify gaps, and create clear workplans for growth and sustainability.”

The Five Disciplines of Healthy Consortia defines the practices essential to sustainable success. Organizations can use a free online assessment tool to evaluate their performance across the five disciplines — Market Relevance, Strategic Alignment, Operational Stability, Engagement, and Resiliency — and receive an instant report highlighting strengths, opportunities, and tailored recommendations for their stage of growth. Virtual also offers customized advisory options for deeper strategic planning and implementation support.

“The Five Disciplines of Healthy Consortia captures what we’ve learned from years of helping membership organizations grow, navigate change, and succeed,” said Andy Freed, CEO of Virtual, Inc. “It’s about giving leaders a clear, actionable way to evaluate and strengthen their organizations — and ultimately, to make their mark on the world.”
