Abstract
Concepts of organizational change can be used to develop a renewed vision and strategic goals within an academic unit. In response to a thorough assessment of the Division of Pharmacy Practice and Administration at Ohio State University, a Vision and Strategy Group was formed, composed of junior and senior faculty members and a human resources consultant. The group used Kotter's 8 steps for organizational change to develop a renewed vision and strategic goals and objectives, as well as 1-year and 5-year action steps which were then approved by the faculty. Senior faculty members were appointed to lead the strategic areas of focus in collaboration with the division chair and other faculty members to achieve the vision and goals. Progress of specific goals and objectives was documented. The focused work of the group, use of the 8-step process for transforming organizations, and the assistance of a human resources consultant, led to the changes needed in an academic unit.
