Testimonials
"I was convinced by my Assistant Chair to invite the Strategic and Transformational Change Team (STCT) to assist me and my executive team to develop an academic department strategic plan driven by active engagement with all possible stakeholders in and out of our unit. The presence of professionals as those in the STCT at the U of A, who can facilitate such transformative change within academic units, has a value that cannot be measured but must instead be experienced to understand both the extreme value and impact they are able to make. The end result is a 4-year plan of objectives linked to values, and a vision statement arising from both of the former, that were created not by the executive team, nor by the STCT, but by the data, input, and feedback from literally hundreds of stakeholders - the executive team was merely a filter and the STCT our guides on process."
