We will adopt more agile organizational structures, policies, practices, and technology to keep the Ivey Community positioned to deliver on our mission.
To have meaningful ongoing impact, we must support an organization-wide ‘bias to action’ – a core tenet of Ivey’s Leadership Essentials. To enable this, we must build an organization that continually renews itself, models the best practices we research and teach, and supports entrepreneurial approaches to problem-solving; always steadied by our mission and legacy of excellence.
