The typical faculty response to a strategic planning meeting?
Plan a strategy for being absent from it.
Faculty are notoriously loath to participate in departmental strategic planning, and the justification goes something like this: Strategic planning is just one more responsibility. It’s a lot of meetings…a lot of discussion…a lot of work. Results are elusive, at best.
When strategic planning is done wrong, of course, those objections carry some weight. When it’s done right, they disappear–because good strategic planning is empowering, responsive and results-focused.
These days, it’s also absolutely essential. What department isn’t facing pressures like these?
• Increasing retention and graduation rates
• Enhancing quality
• Reducing costs
• Meeting increased demands for accountability
• Coping with decreasing resources
• Improving access
Those issues require the kind of analysis and decision-making that only strategic planning can provide. And faculty input is critical.
So…how do you overcome traditional faculty objections to participating in the process? How to you get them to embrace strategic planning and play an active role?
This lively, 90-minute audio presentation will examine a wide range of issues, including:
• Involving faculty in decisions that benefit the collective.
• Prioritizing competing demands.
• Using a “vision-concerns-actions” model for focusing strategic conversations.
• Distinguishing between strategic thinking, strategic planning and strategic inquiry.
• Assessing the environment and creating a meaningful SWOT analysis.
• Producing a departmental strategic plan.
• And more.
