Strategic Alignment
OCAD University’s Strategic Plan, “Advancing Excellence at OCAD University for the Age of Imagination, 2012-2017”, commits to “Advancing the Enterprise” and to the replacement of the Student Information, Finance and Human Resources systems by 2016.
That commitment is based on the need for:
- Exceeding customer service standards
- Building capacity to grow as an institution
- Organizational change and integrated institutional management
- Renewal of processes, technology, data management and analysis
- Streamlined workflows and reduced manual processes
- Excellent fiscal management
- Compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities (AODA) legislation
In addition to being a key enabler in realizing the University’s Strategic Plan, Project Chroma aligns with the goals of the University’s Academic Plan 2011–2016, by building improved capacity for:
- Adaptability and flexibility
- Accountability and quality assurance
- Technology enabled learning
- Internationalization
- Curriculum development
- Customer relationship management
- Revenue generation
Above all Project Chroma is focused on student experience by helping to:
- Improve student access to information, resources and services
- Redirect faculty and staff time to more value added support for students
- Develop capacity for opportunities for field work, co-op programs, internships and study abroad
- Enable expansion of Interdisciplinary programs
- Support for student mobility programs
- Grow Continuing Studies
