Financial Realities
As a publicly funded institution,
the University of Manitoba will be
affected significantly by the
increasingly-constrained financial
environment in the coming years.

Financial Realities
Governments across the country
have been adjusting their
approaches to funding universities,
choosing to:
• Reduce or constrain the growth
of operating grants,
• Establish targeted program
funding,
• Change eligibility criteria for
research funding, and
• Limit the availability of capital.

U of M 2009 – 2014 Strategic Planning Framework
Background:
• In 2009, the University’s Strategic Planning Framework
was approved.
• It was intended to provided a structure to help us shape a
future that demonstrated our University at its best and
answer the question…
"What future are we choosing to create?"
7
2009 – 2014 Strategic Pillars
Become nationally and internationally recognized for its
teaching, research and creative excellence
Become a life-long academic home where students
contribute to a diversity of ideas and experiences
Work with a variety of partners to make Winnipeg the
national centre of excellence in Indigenous education
Be an employer of first choice
8
2015 – 2020 Strategic Plan
The priorities of the 2015-2020 Strategic Plan build on:
• The priorities identified in the 2009-2014 framework
• The lessons learned in implementing this framework
• The perspectives on the future direction of the
University shared by faculty, staff, students and alumni
The 2015-2020 plan identifies five strategic priorities or
broad directions for the University.
9
2015 – 2020 Strategic Priorities
Inspiring minds through innovative and quality teaching (SCACom)
Driving discovery and insight through excellence in research,
scholarly work and other creative activities (RCAC)
Creating pathways to Indigenous achievement
Building community that creates an outstanding learning and
work environment (SITEC, ASIGTC)
Forging connections to foster high impact community engagement
(EITAC)
10
We are now using the Strategic Plan to help guide our decisionmaking about program, structure and allocation of resources.
All faculties and administrative units will develop and connect their internal
plans and priorities with the Strategic Plan.
11
How does IT Governance fit into this picture?
To align scarce financial and human resources, the
University needs a better way to direct IT in support of
strategic priorities.
The renewed IT Governance model was officially
announced on Jan 20. In this time of financial
constraint, the model will ensure alignment of IT
priorities and IT resources with the strategic plan.
