Supporting Queen Mary University of London to develop a 10-year growth strategy

Nous’ consultation and analysis of the current state informed the future strategy

Nous combined extensive consultations across Queen Mary University and its faculties with detailed analysis of the university’s teaching and research performance. We:

1. used the outputs to develop four size and shape visions for 2030, each with the potential to fulfill the growth aspirations
2. tested these with the Executive Group in a workshop and agreed on a future vision that combined elements of two visions
3. conducted further consultations with faculties and professional services staff to understand the university’s major strategic decisions
4. used the insights to develop recommendations on how to proceed with the growth strategy
5. presented the recommendations to the Executive Group, who adopted most.

We helped the university create a new strategy aligned with its vision for 2030

Queen Mary University rewrote its draft strategy and enabling plans to better reflect its growth ambitions. Major initiatives over the next 18 months implement several Nous recommendations. This has significantly reduced planned capital expenditure over the next 10 years by better aligning the estates master plan with modern pedagogy and required space.
