UIC College of Medicine Case Study
The Challege
Change in department leadership created factions on the faculty team making it difficult to agree on a common strategic direction.
The Assessment
A thirst for innovation was stymied by lack of strategic vision clarity and weak accountability for connection and collaboration.
The Action
A strategic visioning session was facilitated in which department mission and values support a commitment to diversity, creativity, and cohesion to make breakthrough innovation possible.
The Outcome
An annual full-faculty strategic planning process is now anchored into the business planning for research, education, clinical delivery, and growth.
