Abstract

How do supporting practices like strategy, governance, and culture strengthen university contributions to economic development?
The university is an adaptable organization. As the academic practices in education, research, and catalyzing evolve to involve more knowledge exchange and impact innovation, so too must the supporting practices.
The supporting practices enable the operations of the university, creating a more supportive intellectual and physical ecosystem in which faculty, staff, and students can flourish and contribute.
These supporting practices help focus the university’s resources on important tasks and communicate more effectively.
There are many supporting practices at university. Here we highlight:
  • Engaging external stakeholders to understand their needs and inform the curriculum, research, and innovation agendas.
  • Evolving the university culture to be supportive of activities leading to economic development.
  • Revising the university’s mission, strategy, and priorities to focus investment of resources and to communicate how the university will distinguish itself including in innovation.
  • Updating governance procedures to strengthen the role of knowledge exchange and innovation.
  • Recruiting and developing faculty and staff who will strengthen knowledge exchange and engage in the innovation mission.
  • Ensuring that academic facilities are functionally suitable to new learning, innovation, and collaborative research activities.
