UM Transformation Plan is overseen by a Joint Steering Committee comprising the UM Board of Directors and UM Top Management. The Transformation Labs, however, are led by UM staff who are knowledgeable about the challenges and obstacles we face. The entire plan is bottom-up rather than top-down, ensuring relevant and informed engagement with the main issues.
In the early stages, stakeholder engagement and syndication sessions were conducted to identify issues, current gaps, and challenges, as well as to explore new opportunities. Eight broad groups of stakeholders were identified: namely, the students, staff, government, partners and industries, community, alumni, donors and parents. Engagement with the stakeholders involved 33 interviews, 12 focus group discussions and at least 3 surveys with the participation of nearly 1500 representatives from the various segments.
After extensive discussions among members of the Transformation team, as well as with a range of stakeholders, six themes were developed. The acronym CREATEs reflects the university’s desire to be a creative site for the development of active researchers and empowered students who will contribute positively to society, both locally and globally.
What are the 6 themes about?
Developing the themes
Once the six themes were developed, action labs were formed to further explore opportunities for each theme. Within the labs, discussions were held to develop hypotheses which would lead to high level solutions and strategies.
A series of Task Forces were created to develop practical, effective solutions, and identify changes that need to be made in various policies and processes. As a result of the work of the Task Forces, several actions were identified to be further developed into strategies and initiatives, which will be carried out in the short, medium and long term.
