Over the last six months, UT DRO’s Strategic Planning Steering Committee members have been meeting regularly with our consultant to create a Road Map which will guide us to 2017. Based on The Transformative Agenda, this Road Map lays out the strategic aspirations, strategies and measures for success.
In addition to meetings with the committee and UT DRO leadership, the consultant met with the entire UT DRO community during Research Day 2014. During the morning, the members of the community – trainees, staff, and faculty members – were asked to vote on the strategic aspirations, the current landscape, and the tagline for the Road Map to 2017.
The feedback form the community helped guide this Road Map, and the strategies it outlines. The community agreed on an action-based tagline: Attract, Catalyze, Transform – ACT.
Over the next few weeks, the full report will be distributed amongst the UT DRO community for final comments.
