UME’s Future: Strategic Planning Activities

Started in 2006

Trigger: Requirements of Law No. 5018 on Public Fiscal Management and Control.

Coordinated by team consisting of 17 people

Team members were selected among volunteers after special training

Strategic planning activities were described in the relevant procedures within QMS

25

Strategic Planning Activities

Actions Carried Out:

• Redefinition of institutional mission and vision

• Performing SWOT and PESTS analysis

• Defining of institutional strategic aims

• Drafting of strategic actions toward strategic aims

• Monitoring of the institutional performance through objective and measurable performance indicators
