24. BMPS SWOT Analysis
Strengths: Great faculty and students, some wonderful facilities
Weaknesses: Some poor facilities, small number of training grants and national centers, chemistry lab wait lists, CBS salaries
Opportunities: “One University” concept and the emphasis on grand problems promotes collaboration within BMPS and with Engineering, Medicine, FAES , and SBS, leading to new external resources (training grants, national centers), creation of an entrepreneurial culture
Threats: Skyrocketing start-up and renovation costs, reward system is not aligned with larger goals, robust, well fortified and fanatically defended silo’s, fear of change
