The Strategic Doing Methodology at Northern Michigan University

Published July 22, 2024
Presented by Ellen Koski, Institutional Researcher II-Strategic Planning Coordinator | Elizabeth Nilsen, Acting Director, Agile Strategy Lab

Many institutions face challenges in evolving traditional, and often ineffective, planning processes into fully participatory systems that use collaborative methods and techniques for improving outcomes. We'll illustrate how Northern Michigan University (NMU) is using Strategic Doing methodology to advance strategic action plan tactics, organize loosely connected networks, and increase collaboration and effectiveness. Come learn how to use a structured methodology with loosely affiliated cross-functional teams to drive greater results, increase accountability, and support impactful strategic plan implementation.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Assess the various structured methodologies necessary for building more effective processes to move from planning to implementation, such as Strategic Doing, Agile, Lean, and Design Thinking.
  2. Define a systematic multi-step process that yields both immediate results and longer term institutional culture changes, including setting ground rules, framing conversations, identifying assets, and increasing efficiency and effectiveness.
  3. Identify where you can apply the Strategic Doing methodology in strategic planning.
  4. Assess the effectiveness of NMU's strategic planning and implementation processes and how you can apply them to your own institutional challenges.
