Change Management
Pushing change in higher education can feel like an impossible task. What is vital to one department is shrugged at in another. What is core to one office’s beliefs is antithetical to another. And everywhere are the ingrained habits, rituals, and procedures that reinforce the status quo. Change in colleges and universities needs to be nurtured, starting with an institution’s culture and the beliefs that underpin it. And that’s where integrated planning excels. It works with your culture, not against it. It engages stakeholders across the institution so you don’t have to make a case to anyone. You’re building a case together—a case for what your institution can be, and the motivation to get there.

The Human Side of the Strategic Planning Process in Higher Education
“Change is a people process; the strategic planning process is not a solitary activity but one that involves a number of players. Its success depends on the individuals and groups who participate in the plan’s development, application, and evaluation.”Planning for Higher Education Journal
The Challenge to Deep Change
Given the extraordinary demands on higher education to adopt strategies that deliver better results with fewer resources and the common resistance of our institutions to strategic change, leaders and planners would do well to actively engage in processes of cultural change.Report

"SCUP promotes the idea that planning is not simply for those with 'planner' in their title, and that the best planning is accomplished when everyone involved is deeply integrated in the process. This makes SCUP a powerful agent of transformation in the academy and beyond."Ana PoliczerSenior Facilities PlannerUniversity of British Columbia-Vancouver
