ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´

Part of the ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´@75 Vision is for ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University to be known nationally and internationally as a leader in collaborative teaching and learning, research and governance. This vision underpins ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´â€™s focus on Sustainable Communities, Global Prosperity moving forward.

ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´â€™s Strategic Integrated Plan identifies four themes in support of this institutional focus. Two of these four themes concern ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´â€™s research profile and the students we graduate. Both these themes, in turn, directly support the Wicked Problem of institutional competitiveness – an issue faced by all post-secondary educational organizations today.

Informed by our Institution’s strategic direction, our group refined the Wicked Problem of institutional competitiveness to Student Contribution to Research at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ and how that impacts ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´â€™s Competitive Positioning in the Post-Secondary Education sector.

Our presentation overviews our group’s approach to this refined Wicked Problem, and details the Findings, Next Steps and Lessons Learned along the way.
