The Charge

The Innovation Task Force has been charged with soliciting feedback from the George Washington Community about our strengths as an institution and how we can change our academic and business operations to be even better. The Task Force will seek out, evaluate and highlight creative ideas, focusing on three key criteria:

  • Effectiveness – will the idea ensure that a service or function is enhanced to better meet our university goals and objectives?
  • Efficiency – will the proposal help us better organize, manage and utilize our resources?
  • Innovation – will the suggestion help us operate in a truly new way?

This process is well underway, with 18 ideas on their way to implementation and $43.4 million in recurring savings and revenue enhancements identified to date to reinvest in academic priorities.

Our Opportunity

GW is fortunate that, thanks to prudent planning and investment, we have not faced the financial hardships currently affecting other universities. This situation gives us a unique opportunity to continue enhancing the excellence in everything we do. In fact, precisely because we are a strong university in good financial condition, it is an opportune time to analyze our operations in a fresh manner to seek new means for pursuit of our mission.
