The research-strategy school. Home of the Trajectory Analytics Group. Its outputs favour foresight, alignment, and anticipatory framings.
3 researchers
Research groups
- Adaptive Metrics Lab
- Trajectory Analytics Group — The School of Emergent Priorities' flagship research group, convening work on how priorities are sensed, tested, and carried through into durable institutional commitments. Its output anchors the School's anticipatory-capability agenda across settings from single labs to whole-of-university footprints.
University units
- Office of Research Outputs — The producing unit credited (rotated margin wordmark) on every research poster and paper: the university's organ for the manufacture of research-shaped objects, named without comment. Not a school; roster researchers are never affiliated to it.
Programs
- Capability Sprints — The short-course and executive-education line. Named Sprints include Leading with Metrics, Reading the Dashboard, Stewarding Indicators, Deciding Under Measurement, and Improving Improvement.
- Master of Applied Measurement (MAM) — The School of Continuous Improvement's flagship Masters program. The acronym "MAM" is used only in space-constrained contexts.
Initiatives
- Demo Quarter — The quarterly Masters-program showcase.
- Evaluation of Evaluation (EoE) — The meta-review program.
- Impact Pathway Atlas
- Improvement Grand Rounds — The School's seminar series.
- Indicator Commons — The shared indicator library.
- Living Dashboard — The School's always-on self-measurement wall.
- Review Cadence Observatory
History
- Institute for Measurable Outcomes — The School of Continuous Improvement's predecessor institution; the School traces its origins to it. Historical references only; never conflate with the School.
