Mission

Fall 2010: Piloting Next Steps

• Process moves to Initiatives, Alignment and Reporting

• Pilot units identified 2011 goals that align with Strategic Themes and Objectives

• Steering Committee forming Initiative Teams– Generate and Develop Proposals– Recommend Proposals to current structures

• Scorecards collect and “roll up” to objectives

Fall 2010: InitiativesFor initiatives that cross Divisions, we will form four Strategic Initiatives Committees, drawn from existing committees already working on related tasks:• Learning: members of the Assessment Committee and related

colleagues from Development, A&F and Student Affairs• Engagement: members of the Carnegie Community Partners Work

Group and related colleagues from Development & A&F • Global Perspectives: members of the ACE Internationalization Lab,

the Global Education Task Force and related colleagues from Development, A&F and Student Affairs

• Sustainability: members of the former Climate Study, augmented to comply with various Council and Rankings recommendations, including student members

These will break into three sub-groups each: Proposal Generators, Coaches and Recommenders.

Fall 2010: AlignmentThis Fall, we will implement processes where:• our annual plans and day-to-day operations can become aligned

with our strategic priorities

• individuals, groups, academic programs and administrative units have a chance to propose new initiatives in response to the strategic themes

The processes will be tied to existing review structures, annual budget and assessment processes (hence not another layer of bureaucracy)

Example: Living Learning Communities

• Goal 1: Create partnerships between Academic Departments and Student Life that integrate in-class and out-of-class learning experiences in order to cultivate intellectually stimulating environments.– ER3 - Foster an interactive environment among students, faculty, staff

and community.– ER4 – Increase opportunities for interactions between internal and

external communities.• Goal 2: Provide academic & social programs to develop a

climate fostering close-knit residential communities. – ER3 - Foster an interactive environment among students, faculty, staff

and community.– SE4 – Prepare students for active citizenship role.

Fall 2010: Developing a Scorecard

• “Mock” Scorecard Screenshots

Fall 2010: AllocationsWe’ll fund these new initiatives by any one or combination of these options:• some will be “self-funding” either by developing

new revenue or by reducing expenses (e.g. paperless/sustainable processes)

• some will be funded via internal operational reallocations and/or realignments within one or more budget units,

• some will become fundraising priorities in the upcoming comprehensive giving campaign
