A Developmental Perspective on Planning

By: Dean Rodeheaver

Traditional planning fails to consider the complex, unpredictable ways that institutions change and develop.

From Volume 26 Number 4 | Summer 1998

Abstract: Contends that most planners make assumptions about planning and about human and institutional ability to change, and that these assumptions necessarily impact the outcome of strategic planning efforts. Examines the functions served in planning comprehensive institutional change, and suggests that planning failures reflect too great a focus on technique and outcome. Applies the analogy of human development to illustrate the organizational life cycle, with an exploration of institutional "identity issues" – the physical, social, and psychological aspects, as well as the institution’s sense of self.

By: Anthony Blackett

Technology will change how campuses are designed and used.

From Volume 26 Number 4 | Summer 1998

Abstract: Examines educational practices that depend on new technologies and considers how those practices are shaping the way we think about what it means to educate.

Planning Is Not a Management Substitute

By: John A. Dunn

Formal participatory planning may not be the best tool for achieving change.

From Volume 26 Number 4 | Summer 1998

Abstract: Asserts that planning is a tool, not a replacement for sound campus management. Using three case studies, two at Tufts University and one at Dean College, the author provides commentary on the usefulness of formal participatory planning in effecting change. In one instance, formal participatory planning was used, in the second it was avoided, and in the third, it was partially employed. Concludes with a reflection on the lessons that may be drawn from each of these examples.
