Vision and Strategy 2026 has four Academic Output KPIs. These are crucial to City’s success and where our high ambitions become crystallised as targets for 2021.
Academic Output Key Performance Indicators
Vision and Strategy 2026 places emphasis on School Strategic Plans as the drivers of delivery, with annual planning rounds to:
- Revise targets where the external environment has changed;
- Revise project plans or method of delivery or increase our efforts where City is off target;
- Achieve efficiency savings and allocate budgets as part of ‘business as usual’.
Deans are responsible for the performance of their Schools and Professional Service Directors are responsible for providing the services to support Schools and City as a whole.
Vision and Strategy 2026 has fewer targets than the Strategic Plan 2012 to 2016, which had four Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and 29 Performance Indicators (PIs).
Vision and Strategy 2026 has four Academic Output KPIs. These are crucial to City’s success and where our high ambitions become crystallised as targets for 2021.
We will consider targets each year on a rolling basis, thereby extending them to 2026. In addition, we will continue to monitor other PIs and relevant data, including university league tables and rankings, through the usual management and governance reporting processes.
| Academic Output KPI | Target for 2021 |
|---|---|
| Student employability | Top 20 in the Times and Sunday Times University League Table |
| Student progression | 90% average across all undergraduate programmes |
| Student experience | Consistently best NSS in London, top 20% in the UK |
| Research | At least 60% of total academic staff producing 4*/3* research |
This represents a significant set of challenges for the next five years and will require energy and ambition from everyone and a strong performance and accountability framework to keep us all on track.
