- Envision and establish an institutional strategy realization group ('the group') that is a support service from the OPVPA for senior leaders. The group provides strategic consulting support to administrative and college/school leadership. By partnering with units to align strategic planning and action across the university, the group helps enable USask to identify and engage with major opportunities and to tackle challenges that affect our success to deliver on university strategy. The group will be guided by the values of co-design (with those engaged in change), and continuous improvement (to deliver on university strategy). The VPSR, in consultation with the PVPA, will ensure relevant service agreements are established and respectful relationships are developed.
- Collaborate with and report to the PVPA in the implementation of university-wide integrated strategic planning, ensuring established goals and objectives are achieved and stated strategic initiatives are brought through to completion through effective project management. Current examples are the Horizons Project and Administrative Services Renewal.
- Collaborate with the office of the Vice-President, Administration on the design and implementation of university-wide initiatives for strategy realization.
- Lead specific institutional projects deemed to be important to the USask vision and academic plan.
- Assist the PVPA, with the implementation of the approved dynamic academic plan (currently University Plan 2025), ensuring academic values lead decisions and budget realities inform these.
- Establish collaborations with universities globally for learning and growth around strategy realization with oversight from the PVPA. The VPSR fosters the exchange of important information institutionally that enhances our connection and reputation with other leading institutions.
