Our Mission, Vision, and Values

Our Mission

Collaborating with our UBC partners to realize the University’s vision, we provide a comprehensive suite of in-house advisory services in strategy development and integration, financial health, and operational effectiveness.


Our Vision

Informing strategic decision making and catalyzing positive changes for a better UBC, together.


Our Values

Integral to all other values, we are accountable to ourselves and each other for upholding the highest standards in our work and our relationships. We demonstrate accountability and integrity through:

 

Excellence

We deliver quality in all of the work that we do and strive to be outstanding by continuously learning, innovating, and adapting. Our team conducts itself with the highest level of professionalism in all of our interactions. We are curious and make an attentive effort to listen and understand our clients and what matters to them. Our work delivers insight and leads directly to decisions, actions, and positive changes. 

Agility

We thrive in a changing environment. Our team adapts quickly to changes in clients' needs, projects and the university's priorities. We remain effective, positive and proactive throughout these changes. We are able to grasp complexity quickly and add immediate value to the clients and UBC as a whole.

Compassion

We show kindness and empathy toward each other and ourselves, and are genuinely concerned with the wellbeing of all members. Our engagements and interactions are grounded in transparency, openness, trust, and respect and we support each other in our individual pursuit of balance and wellness. 

Commitment to Collaborative Success

We are committed to each other and demonstrate a “one-team” attitude. We work to bring out the best in each other and encourage idea generation and constructive dialogue. Our team recognizes and respects each other’s contribution, talents and beliefs, as well as the capacity and desire for personal growth. We develop one another through apprenticeship and mentoring. Through our projects, we partner with clients to enhance their capabilities and capacity and drive value creation. We rely on our clients’ knowledge, experience and resources; and we share our expertise, pan-university perspective and network with our clients.
