Banners displaying the University of Maryland, Baltimore logo

UMB ELEVATE brings faculty and staff together to identify opportunities to make our work easier, remove unnecessary barriers, and find better ways to work together. By building on the expertise and ideas of the people closest to the work, we can make good work even better.

Elevating Employee Ideas and Impact

UMB ELEVATE is a university-wide commitment to empowering the people who know our work best to help shape its future. Built on the belief that the best ideas often come from those closest to the work, UMB ELEVATE encourages faculty and staff to identify opportunities to simplify processes, remove barriers, create greater value, and enhance how we work together.

Building on What Our People Do Best

At UMB, our employees' expertise, creativity, and commitment are among our greatest strengths. UMB ELEVATE builds on those strengths by bringing people together to examine how work gets done, share ideas, explore new approaches, and put better solutions into practice.

Continuous improvement is about unlocking greater potential from our people, processes, and tools. It gives us an opportunity to learn from one another, address challenges, and make meaningful improvements to the way we work.

What Does That Look Like?

UMB ELEVATE provides a framework for:

  • Encouraging innovation and problem-solving

  • Improving experiences for students, patients, faculty, staff, researchers, and partners
  • Supporting data-informed decision-making
  • Creating sustainable and measurable improvements
  • Advancing UMB's mission through continuous learning and growth

UMB ELEVATE is not a one-time project or temporary initiative. It is a long-term commitment to making continuous improvement part of everyday work and giving every employee the opportunity to contribute to positive change.
