Many colleges and universities devote hours, weeks, and months to the participative planning process involved in drafting a strategic plan. This document can be a powerful and energizing force uniting members of a department, school, or an entire campus in working together toward shared goals.
In too many cases, those cherished goals will never see the light of day. This is because the process tends to fall apart at the most important stage: the implementation phase. With knowledge and a clear understanding of the process, this doesn’t have to happen at your institution.
Strategic planning is only as good as its implementation. Successfully Implementing Your Strategic Plan, with Kathleen Paris, Ph.D., is an audio online seminar designed to move your strategic plan off the shelf and into the crucial execution phase. Based upon important research conducted at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dr. Paris will share key findings on how to move a strategic plan from the drawing board to reality.
This audio online seminar will cover:
• The five essential steps in implementation
• Necessary tools for successful plan implementation
• Strengths and weaknesses of ongoing planning efforts
• Proper size of effective planning committees
• Strategic plan alignment throughout your entire institution
• The need to assign “point people” for key priorities
• Effective strategies for engaging stakeholders
• The importance of involving students
• Fund allocation strategies
• The length of time your plan should cover
• Reasons to create multiple versions of your plan–including a one-page summary!
Participants in this seminar will review representative case studies, participate in a poll, and engage in self-assessment. We recommend having a copy of your strategic plan available as a reference during this session, if possible.
