Presented by Neva Lozada, Kean University | Carlos Rodriguez, Kean University | Michael Salvatore, Kean University | Joseph Youngblood, Kean University
Planning Types: Strategic Planning

In order to meet the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education's requirements for an R2 Research Institution designation, Kean University created the University Planning Council (UPC), an inclusive university-wide body with representatives from every constituency within the university community. The UPC creates linkages between assessment and resource allocations to establish integrated university-wide planning, supporting a comprehensive restructuring of its planning processes, policies, and procedures. This session will emphasize the importance of the democratization of data, transparency, inclusivity, and capacity development in integrated planning processes.Learning Outcomes:
  1. Using the McKenzie 7s Framework, assess the alignment of the systems, structures, and strategies that undergird your institution’s current planning processes.
  2. Develop strategies to use and link planning to data-driven decisions, budgeting frameworks, and resource allocation.
  3. Discuss methods for increasing the number of participants in your institution’s strategic and operational planning processes.
  4. Detail strategies for evaluation and assessment, seamless plan adaptation and recalibration, and emergency planning protocols.
