Strategy and Program Management Office
Capabilities
The Strategy and Program Management Office provides seven capabilities to the Office of the President and the UC system related to Strategy and Process and Change.
To assist potential clients and those interested in partnering with the Strategy and Program Management Office, we have also created an overview presentation, which includes how these capabilities have served past clients to achieve their goals. This information can be found in the appendix of the presentation.
