The UC San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (SSPPS) is now working on a five-year strategic plan that will assist the school in strategically focusing its efforts in support of the broader UC San Diego mission of teaching, research, and service/patient care.
Process Design: Our Guiding Principles
- Be bold and curious. This is an opportunity to set an example for what the future of SSPPS should become.
- Be open. Encourage open dialogue and listen to input from a diverse group of stakeholders.
- Be inclusive. Commit to consistent and broad stakeholder engagement throughout the entire strategic process.
- Generate clear priorities through a data-driven approach – what to do, AND what not to do.
- Create strategies and commit to identifying, generating, and dedicating the support needed for future success.
