Strategic Planning Processes
1. Mission, Vision and Values2. Environmental Assessment3. Gap Analysis 4. Strategic Issues5. Reflection & Planning6. Strategic Decisions & Strategies7. Action, Measurement, Evaluation &
Refinement
Norris & Poulton 2008
MISSION VISION VALUES
• Mission: What’s your purpose?• Vision: What your organization will
become?• Values: What is the desired states of
affairs?• Core• Aspirational
15
• Mission• Describes the purpose of
the institution• Mission should be one
that would remain constant for a long time
• Describes succinctly what the institution wants to accomplish and why, not how
• Should focus on specific desired outcomes
16
“The most fundamental way in which leaders create commitment to a purpose is by defining what that purpose is.” (Lynch, 1993)
“Since nonprofits exist solely to fulfill a mission, and since success can be measured only by the extent to which they do so, a clear, functional mission statement is critical to success and to the demonstration of success.” (Powell, 1995)
Strategic Planning: The Mission
Local Community College’s Mission
“to help individuals achieve their dreams by providing quality learning experiences that prepare citizens to live and work in a democratic society and a global community.”
17
Goal
• A desired result• A purpose or aim
18
Local Community College’s Goals to Achieve its Mission:
1. Provide workforce training
2. Deliver diverse educational initiatives
3. Assist in regional transition to a more knowledge-based workforce
19
VISION
desired future state; a collective view that lets go of preconceived notions about the organization and allows for creative and strategic thinking about what the future could be like for your institution; describes the successful accomplishment of the mission in a transcendent way that captures the imagination and inspires the commitment of all.

Development of Vision
“…Stewardship of place, a distinguished faculty and staff, a commitment to academic quality, partnerships with our region, and a carefully planned approach to our physical campus—these are the historical trademark attributes that have brought us into the present...”“…What then of our future? What is the vision for California State University, Northridge? The vision, simply stated, is that California State University, Northridge, remain regionally focused but become nationally recognized as among the very best regional universities in the country…”

What are Critical Strategic Issues?
• Issues that are critical to resolve if the vision of the organization is to be achieved
• The most critical choices that must be made if the institution is to survive and flourish
• The strategic goals must resolve those critical issues in order for the institution to succeed
41
Identifying Strategic and Critical Issues
42
• The purposes of narrowing …objectives are to create a manageable study focus and to communicate realistic expectations for the outcomes.
• Judgment, intuition, and political savvy are at least as important as facts or analyses un selecting among … alternatives

Reflection and Planning
The strategic planning team reflects on the institution’s possibilities and postulatesstrategies that will enable their achievement.
Norris & Poulton 200847
“What we desperately need in business is reflection. Not more planning. Not more strategizing. More reflection.”
John Dalla Costa: Meditations of Business 48
What Limits Our Ability to Reflect?
49
o Individually?o As a team?o As an
institution?
“We never have enough time. Every organization we visit always talks about time as if it’s the victorious enemy. We keep going and going and going, like the Eveready Energizer Bunny. We need to create the space to learn, examine our own assumptions, and to grow. Reflection does not have to be a huge time commitment, but it can have tremendous payback.”

Strategic Decisions & Strategies
“Strategies convert what you want to do intoaccomplishment. They convert intentions into action and busyness into work. They also tell you what you need to have by way of resources and people to get the results.” Peter Drucker, Management for the Non-Profit Organization, 1990
The TOWS Matrix: A Tool for Situational Analysis
“… matching the environmental threats and opportunities with the company's weaknesses and especially its strengths. …to systematically identify relationships between these factors and base strategies on them.”

What are Critical Strategic Issues?
• Issues that are critical to resolve if the vision of the organization is to be achieved
• The most critical choices that must be made if the institution is to survive and flourish
• The strategic goals must resolve those critical issues in order for the institution to succeedExamples: • Institution has lost major source of revenue and
must find new resources• Admissions, the institution’s major source of funding,
has been declining for five years• Institution borrowed funds to build a new facility,
and now faces debt service without additional revenues to pay for it
• Institutional facilities no longer serve long term needs of the institution
63
Examples of Strategic Directions
• Increase access and opportunity
• Promote and measure high-quality learning programs and services
• Provide programs and services that enhance the economic competitiveness of the state and its regions
• Innovate to meet current and future educational needs

Three Characteristics of Successful Planning:Integrated, Strategic, Aligned
85
What is Integrated Planning?
Integrated planning (IP) is the process whereby all planning
and resource allocation activities throughout every level of
the organization are effectively linked and coordinated, and
driven by the institution’s vision, mission, and academic
priorities. 86
SCUP 2007

Program Prioritization
• Focus: all programs• Goal: resource allocation
Program Review
• Focus: 1 program• Goal: program improvement
TOOLS FOR ACADEMIC PLANNING
Academic Program Review
“Program review is simply the evaluation of a program’s contributions to students, faculty, the institution, and the larger community.”
“The overarching goal of the review process is to demonstrate how the program fits with the mission and future plans of the institution.”

Academic Planning and Program Reviews

Program Review
112
Academic Program Review Characteristics
• A departmental self-study seeks to address its own strengths and weaknesses (often an external peer review).
• Informed by data (e.g. cost/productivity indicators).
• Conducted once every 5 to 7 years.• Programs are not assessed simultaneously.• Used primarily for program improvement –
not usually tied to resource allocation.113
Some of Dickenson’s Postulates on Prioritization
• Most institutions are unrealistically striving to be all things to all people rather than focusing resources on the mission and programs that they can accomplish with distinction.
• Reallocation cannot be appropriately accomplished without rigorous, effective, and academically responsible prioritization. 114
Academic Program PrioritizationCharacteristics
• A program self-study, which is reviewed and ranked.
• Consists of measuring, analyzing, and prioritizing.
• All programs are assessed simultaneously.
• Used primarily for resource allocation to achieve strategic balance. 115
What Constitutes a Program?
“An operational definition of a program is any activity or collection of activities of the institution that consumes resources (dollars, people, space, equipment, time).”

How Academic Plans Inform Facilities Planning
• Instructional Delivery: Number and Type of Classrooms and Laboratories
• Enrollment by Program: Space Demand in All Categories (but particularly in laboratories)
• Students to Faculty/Staff Ratio: Office Space Demand
• Program Array: Collections and Study Space in Libraries
• Program Array: Special Use Space (theaters, auditoriums, shops, etc.)
• Student Culture: Residence Halls, Food Service, and Co-Curricular Programming Space
125
How Financial Plans Inform Facilities Planning
• Operating Budget: Maintenance Level of Buildings and Grounds (and how fast deferred maintenance grows)
• Capital Budget and Finance: Building Renovation and Replacement/Expansion Frequency
126
How Facilities Plans Inform Academic and Financial Planning
• Building Condition Assessments: Facility Condition Index = Deferred Maintenance/Replacement Cost
• Facility Renewal Costs = Debt
• Buildings “Teach” Programs: Constrain program growth and innovation
127
Basic Facilities Planning From Integrated Planning Context:
• Must Have a Strategic Plan• Must Have an Academic Plan• Prepare a Master Plan: Every Ten Years• Know Your Buildings: Monitor Condition and

FINANCIAL PLANNING – DETERMINING NEED (NEW INITIATIVES)
For each proposed new program, develop a multi-year budget including personnel (salaries and benefits), operating costs (office expenses, travel and development), capital costs (furniture, technology, etc.).
For new capital projects, determine a total budget including design, engineering & architecture, construction, equipment & furnishing, funded depreciations and contingency.

Prioritization and Funding Allocation
With mission statement and defined goals as your guide, and experts around the table, prioritize new initiatives.
Do this first without regard to cost, then match top priorities to costs.
Interactively consider adapting programs (and costs) to allow funding of more initiatives.

budgeting based on changes in enrollment
• Internal reallocation of resources based on achieved FTES and planned (future) FTES
• Faculty positions needed with growth and attrition

145
Budget Plans and Process
The only way to implement decisions, finally, is to allocate funds based on the planning priorities
Budgets should also be shared extensively with staff so that they understand the process and reasoning, and trust the institution

The Delaware Study - Uses
• Assess department productivity and costs.
• Compare institutional data to national benchmarks and/or self-selected peer groups.
• Provides current and longitudinal data for departmental planning and resource allocation.
150
Using Delaware Study Data at the Institutional Level
• From its inception, the Delaware Study had as its primary function that of being a management tool for provosts, deans, and department chairs to assess the relative position of their academic departments and programs vis-à-vis those at appropriate comparator institutions.
• The Delaware Study is not intended to be used as a tool to reward or penalize programs, but rather to focus on strategies for program improvement.
