Apply the Three Time Horizons Perspective to Planning and Governance
By: Jim Downey, PhD
An integrated model of three horizons, three areas of planning, and three types of governance is presented as a framework for institutional leadership.
From Volume 50 Number 1 | October–December 2021
Abstract: The global COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the world of higher education. As institutions look to the future, beyond the end of the pandemic, significant uncertainty exists. There is little question that colleges and universities will have to do a better job at planning, and boards at governing, to flourish in the years ahead. In this article an integrated model centered around three different time horizons, three areas of planning, and three types of governance is presented. The model can serve as a framework to demonstrate how these are all related, self-reinforcing, and usable as an aid for institutional leadership.
