Successfully Implementing Your Strategic Plan
Strategic Plan Alignment Research
Many colleges and universities devote hours, weeks, and months to the participative planning process involved in drafting a strategic plan.
In too many cases, those cherished goals created in the plan will never see the light of day.
The process tends to fall apart at the most important stage: the implementation phase.
Kathleen Paris, Ph.D shares key findings on how to move a strategic plan from the drawing board to reality, based upon important research conducted at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
In 75-minues we 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
