    RE Renaming of the CMA Centre for Strategic Change and Performance
    Measurement
    ___
    DATE May 8, 2012
    Attached is a memo from Dr. Daniel Shapiro, requesting that the name of the CMA
    Centre for Strategic Change and Performance Measurement be changed to the
    CMA
    Innovation Centre.
    The name change more accurately reflects both the goals and
    interests of the Centre and the Beedie School's key research themes of knowledge,
    technology and innovation.
    I recommend that the CMA Centre for Strategic Change and Performance
    Measurement be granted approval by SCUP. Once approved by SCUP the request
    should be sent to Senate and the Board of Governors for information.
    Motion:
    That SCUP approve
    the
    name of the CMA Centre for Strategic Change and
    Performance Measurement be changed to the
    CMAJnnovation Centre.

    RE:
    Renaming of The CMA Centre for Strategic Change and Performance Measurement
    DATE
    May 3, 2012
    The CMA Centre for Strategic Change and Performance Measurement was established in 2005
    with the aim of facilitating research in three broad areas:
    (1) Strategic change and the execution of strategic change;
    (2) Appropriate measurements for the evaluation of the performance of such changes;
    (3) The evolution of organizations undergoing rapid change.
    Although this was an appropriate set
    of goals at the time, the evolution of the business
    environment, the research undertaken under the auspices of the Centre, and the Beedie School of
    Business all point to the importance of re-articulating the vision for the Centre, including its
    name.
    Over the past 10 years, the management of innovation has become a critically important theme in
    the Canadian business environment, including declarations from the Provincial and Federal
    governments that innovation is key to success for Canadian business. At the same time, the
    research that the Centre has undertaken has shifted toward a focused, strategic concentration on
    the management of technological, organizational and social innovation. This shift has reflected
    the evolution of the Beedie School of Business over the same period, both as more high-
    productivity scholars focusing on innovation have joined the School, and the School has
    established Innovation as one if its four strategic research themes.
    For these reasons, we are proposing re-naming the Centre as the "CMA Innovation Centre". The
    renaming and the specific name have been discussed in detail with the Centre's Advisory Board,
    made up of representatives both from the donor - CMA Canada - and from the Beedie School of
    Business. There is a strong consensus among the Advisory Board that the name CMA Innovation
    Centre would much better reflect the interests of the donor, the activity of the Centre, and the
    strategic direction
    of the Beedie School of Business. Renamed as CMA Innovation Centre, the
    Centre would be positioned to play a more catalytic, strategic role in the School and in the local
    and national business communities.
