Strategy engagement

Formal reporting, as well as sharing and celebrating with our community, of our progress towards our strategic goals

The Strategy team manages the development of UCL’s Strategic Plan, which sets out our whole-university priorities, focusing effort and investment on a programme of change to support our vision and mission. Read UCL Strategic Plan 2022-27

We provide foresight and analysis to inform decision making. We report on the university’s progress towards the goals of our five strategic outcome areas, which include those of our Strategic Plan and our in-year priorities. This progress is monitored against UCL's key performance indicators (KPIs). Find out more on our Strategic Planning sharepoint site (UCL password required).

The Office of the Vice-President (Strategy) sponsors UCL's Project and Programme Management (PPM) Community of Practice. For more information please visit the Communities of Practice SharePoint Hub.

What is the role of strategy and strategic plans?

To prepare UCL for the future (rather than focus on short-term, day-to-day activity)
To distinguish UCL from others, identifying our unique assets and features and how to maximise their potential
To provide a roadmap that coordinates and prioritises our activity, especially in turbulent times, and a common frame of reference so that if we need to change direction, we know what assumptions, ideas or plans we might alter
To hold overview of our activities and our external landscape, so that we align internally and can respond to external change
