Plans That Deliver: What a National Study Reveals About Strategic Planning in Higher Education
Strategic planning asks a great deal of an institution: months of committee work, broad consultation, and significant resources. Yet some plans reshape their institutions while others stall within a year. This session examines what makes the difference.
This webinar presents findings from Strategic Planning in Higher Education: A National Study of Leadership, Alignment, and Implementation, drawing on responses from presidents, provosts, deans, department chairs, faculty, and professional staff at colleges and universities across the United States. The session will address:
How often institutional strategic plans are implemented as intended;
How perceptions of a plan differ between senior leadership and those responsible for carrying it out;
Where implementation weakens as plans move to colleges, departments, and units; and
The practices and conditions most associated with successful implementation, and what institutions can do differently in their next planning cycle.
Intended for institutional leaders, planning and institutional research professionals, academic administrators, and faculty involved in governance.
This session will include Q&A and a recording will be made available to registrants.
Presenters: Nicki Nabasny, EdD and Kevin Sanders, DMA. Full bios at higheredplanningstudy.org.
