What We’re Looking For

We seek content that supports and showcases integrated planning practices within higher education. Our community finds value in actionable advice, how-to’s, tools, frameworks, and lessons learned.

Some hallmarks of integrated planning:

  • Future-focused and mission-driven: How do you use planning to help your institution fulfill its mission and prepare for the future?
  • Stakeholder engagement: How are stakeholders strategically and intentionally engaged during planning and implementation?
  • Alignment up, down, and sideways: How do institutional priorities and day-to-day actions influence each other? How do decisions in one area of the college or university connect to decisions in another area?
  • Informed by internal and external factors: Are your decisions informed by the realities of the external environment? The internal environment?
  • Cyclical and adaptive: How do you link planning, resource allocation, implementation, and assessment? How do you adapt and adjust plans?
