Department Strategy

With our Department Strategy service, we re-establish priorities with a renewed focus. We generate insights and turn them into a clear strategy. We identify strengths and weaknesses, before providing suggestions for improvements to leverage and resolve them. The result is a strengthened positioning, collaboration, clear career tracks, and enhanced departmental culture.

Our Department Strategy service can include:

• Change strategy: Prepare research groups for changes to the team due to retirement, reorganization or the set-up of new research lines. Break through cultural barriers that limit clear career tracks and diversity & inclusion.
• Collaboration strategies: improve collaborations between research groups, PIs and departments in specific areas, such as research topics, way of working, data management, or leadership. The theory of change combined with innovation workshops helps your team establish sound solutions that are relevant, realistic and that stick for the long term.
• Research strategy: create alignment in your department regarding strengths and opportunities. Determine strategy to best employ available resources (ideation, FTE, materials) and gain additional resources (grants, collaborations).
