Ways to Connect With SCUP Peers During COVID

By: Mike Moss, President, SCUP

We are a community where planning comes together, and I know that our professional work and connections create relationships that transcend the plan. We have heard many of you are leading crisis management activities on campuses. Then there are the thousands of you supporting the institutions, having tough conversations in an effort to partner on what’s next. It’s remarkable to see how a crisis activates the best of humanity and reminds us of the power of the SCUP community. Crisis brings questions and the need to connect with a supportive community. We have two tools at your disposal to connect with SCUP members.

A Collaborative, Ongoing University Strategic Planning Framework

Process, Landmines, and Lessons

By: Susan E. Kogler Hill,Edward G. Thomas,Lawrence F. Keller

Planners at Cleveland State University describe that institution’s highly communicative and participatory strategic planning process.

From Volume 37 Number 4 | July–September 2009

Abstract: This article examines the strategic planning process at Cleveland State University, a large metropolitan state university in Ohio. A faculty-administrative team used a communicative planning approach to develop a collaborative, ongoing, bottom-up, transparent strategic planning process. This team then spearheaded the process through plan development and the early stages of implementation and evaluation. The article presents the framework for this process in detail and includes a three-year timetable. The authors discuss the unexpected landmines that threatened to undermine the process and the important lessons learned in the hopes that this will aid other universities in their strategic planning efforts.
