Operational planning and follow-up
The Comprehensive Operational Plan for Karolinska Institutet 2023–2025 is based on Strategy 2030. Its aim is to ensure that the organisation progresses in the desired direction. It is also intended to provide a clear overview of the various requirements, objectives and opportunities generated by existing processes within Karolinska Institutet (KI). By coordinating and formulating joint initiatives, we create an ability to reach strategic decisions at all organisational levels.
The initiatives identified in the Operational Plan are based on Strategy 2030 and external requirements, the results of KI’s risk analysis and systematic quality management, changes in the world around us and the organisation’s other needs.
A number of initiatives are linked to the focus areas defined by University Management as being worthy of particular attention in operational planning during the period 2023–2025:
-
Strengthening the conditions for experimental research.
-
Strengthening the conditions for clinical research and education at all levels.
-
Responsible internationalisation.
-
Greater preparedness to meet future health crises (universal preparedness for health).
All organisations within KI shall prioritise and plan activities that contribute to the implementation of these initiatives. Not all initiatives are relevant to all departments or equivalent organisational units. This implies a need to interpret and prioritise based on specific local conditions and needs in order to arrive at activities that one’s own department/equivalent needs to implement.
Initiatives will primarily be followed up through dialogue with the intention of disseminating experiences of and lessons learned from completed activities. In addition, the implementation of the plan will be followed up through compilations of existing measurement values, reports and follow-ups within the framework of existing processes. Work on this is ongoing. The Operational Plan will be reviewed annually and revised as and when necessary. The current version of the Operational Plan was adopted by the President on 10 October 2022 (Ref. No. 1-886/2022).
