Strategy meetings were held during the summer – what were the results of these discussions, and have they impacted upon the reorganisation strategy?
The focus group strategy meetings were held as part of the ongoing review of strategy being undertaken by Professor Neal Juster on behalf of SMG. They were designed in order to canvas opinion on the university from across the institution. Our existing strategy, Building on Excellence, was designed to take the University up to 2010. A new strategy will be launched in Spring 2010. Information and attitudes gathered at the focus groups meetings are playing an important part in the development of that strategy. The restructuring is an enabling tool to allow for the successful implementation of the new strategy.
