Kids and spinach.
Cats and water.
Faculty and strategic planning.

Here’s a new online seminar designed to improve one of those relationships …

Traditionally, faculty members have to be dragged kicking and screaming into a process like departmental strategic planning. It’s seen as a burden … an additional responsibility added to an already full plate, with benefits that are modest, at best.


But you know that today’s environment requires careful planning. Market forces are putting relentless pressure on the educational mission. The demands are all too familiar: Do more with less … improve access … increase retention … be more accountable … cut costs … boost quality.


To meet the demands, planning is a must … and you simply can’t plan effectively without faculty input.


So how do you change faculty attitudes, and get them to embrace and participate in the planning process?


You’ll get a wealth of effective strategies for doing so in the online seminar, Engaging Faculty in Departmental Strategic Planning, coming March 30. In this fact-filled, 90-minute audio presentation, Dr. Anne Massaro of Ohio State University will explain how you can:


• Involve faculty in decisions that benefit the collective
• Prioritize competing demands.
• Use a “vision-concerns-actions” model for focusing strategic conversations.
• Distinguish between strategic thinking, strategic planning and strategic inquiry.
• Assess the environment and create a meaningful SWOT analysis.
• Produce a departmental strategic plan.
• And do it all with the help of a cooperative, engaged faculty!


Great value … and an excellent group-training opportunity


The seminar fee is just $99, and it applies per site, not per person. That means you can invite others from your campus to attend … just sign on from a lecture room or meeting facility.
