Engaging Faculty in Departmental Strategic Planning

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, with the justification going 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.

Anne Massaro, Ph.D., of Ohio State University, shows you that when strategic planning is done right, the objections disappear because good strategic planning is empowering, responsive and results-focused.

You gain wealth of ideas from this 90 minute seminar:

• 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.

It’s your chance to create an approach to planning that encourages participation, ownership and enthusiasm.

Who will benefit:

• Department Chairs
• Academic Deans
• Associate and Assistant Deans
• Faculty Members
