How the strategy is created The #shapeRMIT strategy team will listen to your thoughts both online and offline. This will influence how we write the strategy. Have your say Be strategic As the strategy starts to come together, we'll share the latest with you. Use this information to inform your ongoing discussions.

How ideas for action work Use discussion groups as a space to shape up your specific ideas with your RMIT peers. Brainstorm ideas Imagine action Be strategic Always try to relate your ideas back to the strategy, as well as connecting up with others who have similar ideas and interests. Create specific proposals for ways in which RMIT can realise its strategic vision.

How to participate in #shapeRMIT Face-to-face events and workshops let you connect with your peers, imagine the future you’d like to see, and brainstorm ideas for action to shape the future of RMIT. Aug 10 Go to events and workshops The #shapeRMIT strategy team will be hosting online discussions about the key theme already emerging for the strategy. You will also be able to start your own discussion groups if you wish. Our unique discussion tool will let you make proposals to your peers, for them to vote on. Join online discussions Ideas for action are structured proposals that can be put forward for consideration during the strategy process, and could become part of the action plans that will translate the strategy into outcomes over the next five years. Through the #shapeRMIT project, the university commits to considering all ideas for action that are generated, making them transparent, and giving a clear response to all of them as to whether and how it can be adopted, and on what grounds. Share ideas for action We’re keeping a blog lots of picture and video about the process as it unfolds. This is a great way to catch up on the story so far, and get a deeper sense of the how the RMIT community is shaping its own future. Follow the news As the strategy continues to take shape through the work of the #shapeRMIT project team, we’ll be sharing more and more of our thinking. We plan to have a full draft for your review in before the strategy is submitted to council. Use this to inform your discussions and ideas for action. Read the strategy To reach everyone and make real changes, we’ll need leaders from across the RMIT community. Catalysts run events, generate news items, facilitate discussion groups, and lead the charge on generating and sharing powerful ideas for action. Becoming a catalyst starts with downloading our catalyst kit, and coming along to one of our events to learn more. Become a catalyst

Types of online discussion group Predefined groups Some groups are set up, seeded and facilitated by the #shapeRMIT project team, in order to provide easily accessible opportunities for participants to have their say on key aspects of the strategy. Emergent groups Some groups are started and facilitated by participants in the process. This may be, for example, a student interest group or staff business area, that want to come together promote a particular idea or agenda. Planning groups Some groups are actually focused on spreading the #shapeRMIT opportunity within their part of the RMIT community. They might use discussion groups for planning and logistics around events and workshops they run. Few and large Many and small Few and small

Future perspectives exercise Outcome: Creating greater shared understandings and shared visions, from different perspectives, on the possible future shape of RMIT. For your team’s given theme, work through the following questions: ●What is the report card like for RMIT today? What works and what doesn’t? ●What are some sources of inspiration for who does this really well? Look at other universities, other industries, or even departments within RMIT. What are the trends we are seeing? What are we behind on but what would like to lead on? ●How could RMIT be different from our peers for your lense? What is the compelling Vision and outcomes we should aspire towards for your theme? ●What enablers would we need to achieve these outcomes? Consider people, process, tools, technology, information. ●What would be the biggest challenges we face to achieving the vision and outcomes we are proposing? You will have 45 mins for this exercise
