Strategic review

  • 1.  Strategic review

    Hi Core friends,

    As Universities are thinking about centralization are any of you creating a formal review process for your current cores?

    We are looking at creating a review process at UNC and before trying to reinvent the wheel if someone is already doing this i would love to chat with you!

    Thanks for any thoughts, guidance, or even commiseration.

    Baylor College of Medicine has an extensive and successful annual review process for all cores - can share thoughts.

    Hiya, this is a topic that's also on my mind as we're looking to put more formal processes in place.  I'd be grateful to learn more about what is useful and working well at other institutions.  

    Thanks!

    Seems like there is quite a bit of interest in this topic, maybe we can organize a Zoom call in late May?

    Hi everyone,

    I agree it sounds like a zoom call would make sense. 

    Could everyone that is interested on being on the call send me your email address and i can try to find a time that works for everyone.

    My email is: kraftmeg@unc.edu

    Hi everyone,

    I have created a doodle poll to find a time that works for as many as possible. I will pick the date/time EOB Friday May 9th so the more people that fill out the poll the more people we might be able to accommodate. I will send out a follow up email with the selected date/time. 

    Please come with:

    1. Current review templates/information
    2. Overall ideas on what you want to get out of a strategic review
    3. Any potential ideas/templates you have found
    4. Positive/negative outcomes of current review processes

    Dear Meghan,

    Thanks for bringing up this important topic. At LUMC (the Netherlands), we've had a formal review process for our core facilities in place since 2021, as part of our broader efforts to align with institutional strategy and support sustainable operations.

    I'd be happy to share the approach we've taken. I have send you two documents that outline our process.

    These provide insight into how we assess our facilities in terms of scientific value, financial health, user base, and alignment with our core missions.

    That said, we're still refining the process ourselves. We're actively looking at ways to simplify it and to get a better global overview across all facilities, so I'd be really interested to exchange ideas and learn what others are doing too. So happy to join for the meeting and filled out the doodle poll.

    Best wishes,

    Marjolijn

    Collaborating with our Scientific Council at UMASS, we had an extensive Core Review Process that happened on a rotating schedule.  I am working on putting this is place at my new Institution.  Happy to share templates....  please include me!

    Hi Meghan, we have used a few processes for review at UC Davis, from very detailed annual reports to simple one-pagers.  I would love to join this discussion - please include me.
