Reframing Strategic Planning Priorities Through Results-based Strategic Design

By: David Haney, President (retired), Centenary College | Jeremy Houska, Director of Educational Effectiveness, University of La Verne

In this session, you will learn how Results-Based Strategic Design (RBSD) can help you supplement, restart, or reframe planning processes at your institution.
Abstract: Strategic planning processes need to be more engaging, relevant, and effective—especially within the disruptive context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results-Based Strategic Design (RBSD) is an alternative approach to strategic planning that combines design-thinking methods with a focus on outcomes. By shifting from 'planning' for an unknown future to 'designing' human experiences, RBSD emphasizes student experience rather than institutional preservation, concrete problem solving, early adoption over prioritizing consensus, and strategy as behavioral change. In this session, you will learn how RBSD can help you supplement, restart, or reframe planning processes at your institution.

Helping Vulnerable Students Meet Basic Needs

By: Paula Umaña, Director of Community Impact, Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice, Temple University

From The Hope Center at Temple University, Paula Umaña discusses caring and communication: the need to identify your most vulnerable students, then ensure that available assistance is visible and easy for them to access.

In this episode, The Hope Center’s Paula Umaña discusses caring and communication: the need to identify your most vulnerable students, then ensure that available assistance is visible and easy for them to access..
