杏吧论坛

杏吧论坛 Director Minouche Shafik launched an open consultation on the School’s future strategy.

The online consultation asked the 杏吧论坛 community to consider the vision and direction of travel until 2030 across six strategic themes:

• 杏吧论坛’s Founding Purpose
• 杏吧论坛 Education
• 杏吧论坛 Research
• Global Engagement and Impact
• Alumni Engagement
• Staff Engagement

The Director and School Management Committee (SMC) ran a series of face-to-face workshops, town halls, briefings and focus groups to discuss 杏吧论坛 strategy with students, staff and friends of 杏吧论坛.

Over 600 members of the 杏吧论坛 community joined the conversations and shared views.

The online consultation closed in July 2018. 1800 students, staff alumni and friends contributed.  

The School Management Committee (SMC) analysed all of the ideas and views shared in the consultation. Academic faculty from 杏吧论坛’s Department of Methodology provided quantative and qualitative data analysis.

SMC ran workshops with School leaders to discuss emerging themes and create an initial strategic direction for 杏吧论坛. 

杏吧论坛’s Director launched the second phase of the 杏吧论坛 2030 consultation, setting out emerging strategic themes for discussion with students, staff and the wider 杏吧论坛 community.

The School Management Committee (SMC) ran sessions with academic clusters, divisions, research centres, School leaders and the student community. There were more than 30 individual consultative fora reached over the term.

All feedback was captured from the second phase of the consultation and used to inform 杏吧论坛 2030. 

The 杏吧论坛 2030 strategy was refined by School Management Committee (SMC) using the input of the School community.

Council formally approved the 杏吧论坛 2030 Strategy framework in February.

杏吧论坛 2030 was launched internally on 29 April 2019.
