A new strategy webpage enables staff to contribute their thoughts on the University’s next strategy online, in addition to the all-staff workshops that continue across November.

The University’s Global Strategy 2020 (GS2020) is approaching the end of its intended period. The time is right to take a new look at our aspirations and priorities for the coming decade – for our research, our teaching, our global outlook and supporting the people, processes and systems which are vital to delivering this.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost, Professor Andy Long, is leading work to develop the next strategy, aiming to produce a Green Paper of initial thoughts and priorities early in 2019 that will evolve into an agreed University strategy in the summer.

The University will publish updates and key documents on these webpages as the development of the strategy moves forward.

Staff are currently able to join a series of workshops in faculties and professional services departments at our campuses in the UK, China and Malaysia to gather views and perspectives to inform the strategy.

Each session is fully interactive, stimulating group discussions and debate to explore perspectives on the possible futures for the University and our community’s role in delivering them.

The new strategy webpage enables staff who are unable to attend the workshops to contribute their thoughts on the University’s next strategy online.
