Coming to Terms With Strategic Planning

14

Strategic Plan – The narrative map that

communicates where an organization wants to go

and identifies how it intends to get there.

Quotation from James Moeser:

“…A good plan needs to be specific enough to include

concrete action steps, assignment of responsibility and a

mechanism for measuring success. It also needs to be

flexible enough to allow for opportunistic adjustments as

the environment evolves.”

Source: Patrick Sanaghan, Collaborative Strategic Planning in Higher Education

(Washington DC: National Association of College and University Business Officers), 9.

Definition of terms:

• Vision – A description of a desired future state. The best visions

are vivid, compelling, and well-understood and build on the

institution’s strengths and values.

• Core Values – The core beliefs and guiding principles that govern

daily behavior, communication, decision making, and leadership

within an organization. These are considered non-negotiable.

• Mission – Articulates the institution’s purpose and the major

activities in which it is engaged. By incorporating its particular

values, an institution differentiates itself from other

organizations engaged in similar activities.


16

• What we are providing to each of the work groups on

1. Energizing the Educational Environment;

2. Driving Discovery and Innovation;

3. Engaging Scholarship for Public Impact

is a charge of the following form:

• Goal – Large-scale effort that, when accomplished,

moves the organization closer to its vision. Effective

goals are subject to assessment.

• Characteristics – Specific aspects

of the goal to focus on.


17


18

• What the work groups will develop:

• Strategy or Strategic Action – A particular measurable

approach in pursuit of an organization’s vision, usually in

support of one or more specific goals. It includes a timeline

that specifies who will do what and when. The best strategic

actions are SMART:

• Specific

• Measurable

• Agreed upon

• Reasonable

• Time-limited

• Metrics and benchmarks – Success indicators that

mark the progress of the strategic actions and

their work plans.
