Strategic framework
We have three key Strategic Goals through which our ambitions will be delivered:
- Outstanding education and student experience
- World-leading research
- Transformative innovation & impact
Our Cross-cutting Goals provide critical context:
- Global engagement
- Operational excellence
Our commitment to sustainability underpins the entire Strategy. Through delivery of this Plan we will demonstrate what we intend to achieve as an institution over the period to 2025 and how we will focus our collective energy in order to realise our ambitions.
Measuring and communicating success
We act on evidence and are driven by an embedded culture of continuous improvement. We are continuously advancing our business intelligence analytics capability to guide our efforts and maximise impact. Our key performance indicators give us a framework to measure and demonstrate our overall success, underpinned by delivery across the University against a wide range of supporting strategies and informed by data and additional metrics.
The University’s Executive Team and Court, our governing body, monitor progress against our key performance indicators. Successful delivery and calls to action will be communicated to staff through regular internal updates, with progress highlights featuring in the University’s Annual Report and Financial Statement.
Success relies upon the commitment and contributions of all our staff. This commitment will be strengthened by a collaborative, people-oriented and rewarding working environment, where staff can benefit from opportunities for development and a shared set of common values.
