ACADEMIC FUTURES

Strategy and Organisational Development

For institutional leaders and decision-makers in strategy, development
and proposal processes.

Typical contexts

Creating Clarity in Complex Settings

Institutional Initiatives and Strategic Development

Collaborative and Institutional Proposals

Retreats and Tailored Workshops

Academic Futures supports universities, non-university research institutions and research organisations in strategic initiatives, reflection processes and the development of new institutional directions.

The focus is on overarching and more specific strategies in research, transfer and academic career development.

In collaborative and institutional proposal development, Academic Futures integrates disciplinary contributions, strategic requirements and different perspectives into a coherent overall logic.

This is particularly relevant when a strong academic idea needs to become a compelling overall project — across sites, subprojects and research groups.

Retreats, strategy meetings and tailored workshops create a focused setting for working on strategic questions, identifying fields of action and developing a meaningful way forward.

They are often designed as one-off formats that enable shared understanding, prepare next steps and can be complemented by a follow-up where useful.

Initial Conversation

Clarify Context. Define Scope.

An initial conversation helps to identify the right format — from a compact retreat to a multi-stage strategy or proposal process — and to develop a workable scope from an initial idea.
