Play your part
Implementation and measures of success
Â鶹Éçmadou will implement this strategy at an unprecedented time of change in the local and global environments. This makes implementation planning and delivery critical to its success. The 10-year strategy will begin in 2025. Our Strategy Playbook, an implementation framework, will guide its delivery. Executed over three trienniums, 2025 will be our foundational and transformational year as we set up the optimal conditions for executing and achieving the strategy’s ambitious objectives.
Putting the Strategy into action
The Playbook will incorporate our existing financial and operational planning processes, including annual and triennial reviews. These reviews will enable us to adjust or refocus our objectives and initiatives, to ensure sustainable outcomes that allow us to achieve Â鶹Éçmadou’s long-term vision while enabling agility and adaptability. Strategy targets and key performance indicators will be developed as part of the operational planning process.
The Playbook establishes the Strategy as the overarching guide for all University activities, rather than being simply for specific big projects or initiatives. Key principles for the Playbook include:
- clear governance, accountability and success measures linked to our mission and vision,
- a coordinated and clear approach to deliver initiatives through resources, capacity and investment principles, and monitoring progress against the goals,
- ongoing internal and external stakeholder engagement and buy-in, and
- agility embedded in the strategy’s execution so that we can account for and adapt to future disruptors.
Evaluating and measuring success
We will evaluate and measure our success for Â鶹Éçmadou Strategy: Progress for All by progress against:
- The objectives and activities in our five Impact Pathways
- The societal impact of our work in our four Impact Focus Areas, and
- The societal change in the areas described in our Societal Impact Goals over time.
For our impact pathways, we will measure and evaluate our core activities and develop a specific set of targets and key performance indicators for each of the objectives.
For our impact focus areas, we will evaluate our impact on society through indicators such as:
- Quality of life: individuals and communities impacted by our activities,
- Sustainability and sustainable development: improvements to our environment or society,
- Policy and influence: knowledge transfer and exchange, advocacy and engagement,
- Scholarly outputs: traditional method of measuring impact from an academic standpoint,
- Commercialisation: products, services and methodologies adopted by industry.
Ultimately, our success will come in realising others’ success and the collective success for which we strive in Progress for All. It will be how others see and experience our progress as much as how we track it ourselves.
Getting involved
Â鶹Éçmadou's Strategy: Progress for All was developed by our community. From the very beginning we wanted to make sure the Strategy was created by and with the people who will be critical to its success. It is the outcome of extensive engagement and collaboration with our students, staff, alumni, and partners in industry, philanthropy and the community sector, as well as the wider community.
As part of our Strategy Playbook we will be developing a series of materials and resources that support each of you in our community to get involved in the strategy over the course of its implementation.
Please visit our Strategy Playbook page (coming March 2025) to understand how to play your part and be connected in with Progress for All.
Get in touch
Our Strategy was designed by our Â鶹Éçmadou community, for our Â鶹Éçmadou community so we want everyone to get involved. Please get in touch to discuss the Strategy or ask any questions.
