所面临的挑战
Similar to many medical schools, Geisel struggled financially for a number of years. Beginning in 2015 和 2016, the school took steps to address imbalances in its financial 和 operating models, resulting in a hard-won financial turnaround 和 putting it on strong academic 和 financial footing. As Geisel started generating positive operating margins, leadership began contemplating investments to enhance the school’s mission areas as it looked to build for the future.
Coinciding with the financial turnaround, the school started addressing accreditation review findings from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) in areas such as sufficiency of administrative staff, 多样性, infrastructure, curricular content, 和 student well-being.
Recognizing the need for a comprehensive strategic plan, Geisel leadership engaged 心电图 to facilitate the development of a five-year blueprint to guide the school for future success.
我们的解决方案
Ensuring that all members of the Geisel community, regardless of tenure or position, had opportunities to provide feedback on the strategic plan was a guiding principle of the process. 心电图 conducted stakeholder interviews, assessed the current state of the school, 和 solicited input from the community during a half-day strategic planning retreat.
The results of the retreat served to direct efforts 和 facilitate development of a steering committee 和 four functional work groups. The steering committee was charged with leading 和 directing the course of the project while each work group completed detailed planning for their respective areas.
