2020

STRATEGIC PLAN

“…THE 2020 STRATEGIC PLAN IS A LIVING, WORKING INSTRUMENT; A COMPASS TO GUIDE DECISION-MAKING WITH THE AIM OF ACHIEVING OUR SET IDEALS AND GOALS.”

The objective of this site is to communicate our 2020 Strategic Plan, within the transformation model that has guided us in the Tecnológico de Monterrey.


It is important to highlight that the 2020 Strategic Plan is a living, working instrument; a compass to guide decision-making with the aim of achieving our set ideals and goals.

We are grateful to the entire community that has participated in, and fostered the development of the 2020 Strategic Plan. This document is based on the ideas and work of the faculty, students, alumni, parents, directors, and board members of our institution.

TRANSFORMATION


MODEL

In 2012 the Board of Trustees defined its mandate: to continue improving & strengthening academic quality.

This will be achieved by having high quality professors, by employing a challenge-based educational model, to develop critical thinking, and by attracting high potential students. Academic quality does not only mean that our alumni be extraordinarily capable in their distinct disciplines. Our educational processes must develop skills that will be critical in the 21st Century. Alumni of the Tecnológico de Monterrey will be leaders, with intellectual curiosity and the distinctive ability to learn how to learn. They must be global citizens with outstanding communication skills, have the emotional intelligence to work collaboratively, and to continually grow as people. In short, they must be agents of change.

Based on this mandate and the changing world in which we live, in 2012 we created a transformation model that aligns the vision, organization and culture of the institution. This model has served as a guide for the definitions outlined in this document. Although this document focuses on the vision of the Tecnológico de Monterrey and its components, it also touches on the other two elements of our model of transformation. In this document we propose a strategy looking ahead to 2020, wherein we take advantage of the achievements gained in recent years, as well as reflect and build upon them.
