Priorities and implementation
We have identified three shared priorities and seven areas of focus as pillars for strategic implementation to achieve our purpose by 2031.
As a community, we are all clear about our areas of focus and our people are empowered to take decisions and shape their work around them.

CREATING IMPACT ON GLOBAL CHALLENGES
Through practice-oriented and collaborative research, knowledge exchange and education
CONSTRUCTING A LEARNING ORGANISATION AND ENQUIRING COMMUNITY
Through a culture that is creative, inclusive, nurturing, agile and outcome-focused
