Implementing Strategic Plans (Making Dreams Come True): The Saga Continues

Presenter(s): Thomas B. Flaherty, Central Connecticut State University; Gerald C. Werner, Werner Consulting, LLC
Convener: Miguel Romo Cedano, Universidad Tecnologica de Mexico

This presentation continues the discussion begun at SCUP­36 regarding focused planning and budgeting at Central Connecticut State University. We will report on the continuing saga‹our success in getting resources to follow rhetoric‹and will attempt to apply learned principles to other institutions. Our methodology is simple: identify the most important objectives to be accomplished, then direct institutional energy (money and effort) in those directions. The problems of institutional inertia and fractiousness need to be overcome to make it work.


This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-seventh annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–37, in San Diego, CA (USA), in July of 2002.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–37 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP–37, our digital archives of SCUP–37 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
