Conference Presentations

Institutions require accurate data to support decision making and planning, so they can and should carefully consider how this data is organized. As higher education continues to evolve to meet new challenges, there are significant opportunities to rethink how institutions are organized to benefit from blending the power of institutional strategy, integrated planning, and analytics. Washington State University (WSU) has evolved to combine these institutional functions into a central unit. This session will show you how to embrace collaborative partnerships and organize similar functions at your institution to bring focus, coordination, and alignment to your institutional planning.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Identify institutional partners that can evolve into sustained and integrated long-term collaborators and lead to the formation of a new unit.
2. Articulate the institutional benefits of blending strategy, planning, and analysis to bring focus, coordination, and alignment to planning.
3. Make a case for rethinking place and working partnerships to create complementary working groups and invest in strategic restructuring to suit institutional needs.
4. Redefine roles and responsibilities to meet current and future institutional and unit needs.
