VPFO News: Special Edition: Strategic Plan

October 9, 2019

 

The VPFO has a new strategic plan and we need you

The VPFO is a complicated portfolio. With ten departments and key leadership roles with our wholly-owned subsidiaries like IMANT and Properties Trust, there is a lot going on at any given time.

To be our most successful, we need a plan that organizes our work from individual jobs, through departments, to the portfolio and UBC as a whole.

Read on to learn more about how our new focus will help us continue our innovative and award-winning work enabling excellence at UBC.
Our Stories
Get to know the VPFO Strategic Plan
The VPFO Strategic Plan 2019-2021 integrates with the UBC Strategic Plan. Our plan asks us to anticipate how UBC and its world will change, and to adapt well in advance rather than having change thrust upon us. By taking a long-term perspective, the VPFO can look beyond our current capabilities to make decisions based on the progress we expect to make over the life of the strategic plan.
