In order to accomplish this work, it is important that we have a team of individuals working to make it happen on a daily basis.
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee is comprised of senior administrators and experts who provide strategic direction on decisions, prioritize programs and initiatives, and challenge the status quo to make best use of our resources.

- David Shaw, Provost & Executive Vice President

Transformation Management Team (TMT)
The Transformation Management Team serves as the “air traffic controller” in order to orchestrate the many moving parts of the transformation. This team manages the program roadmap, supports in-flight projects to enable teams to deliver on their goals, and provides visibility into decisions that need to be made by the Steering Committee. The TMT also coordinates change management activities and reporting on progress toward the strategic plan’s outcomes.

- Tracey Baham, Associate Vice President, Institutional Strategy & Effectiveness (Outcomes and Evaluation)
- Bimal Balakrishnan, Associate Dean of Research and Professor, CAAD (Future of Work)

Transformation Leader Council (TLC)
The Transformation Leader Council acts as a liaison between their individual divisions and the Transformation Management Team to foster alignment with the university's strategic plan. They enable the TMT to maintain a continuous feedback loop for key parts of the strategy, serve as valuable assets to the VPs/Division leaders to facilitate integrated planning, and help to uncover blind spots in internal engagement and change management efforts.
