Strategic Planning in Higher Education: A Guide for Leaders

Strategic Planning in Higher Education is as the subtitle indicates, A Guide for Leaders. The model emphasizes the process of leading planning efforts, as much as the necessary features of a plan. Focus is particularly on planning in higher education, though the framework presented has broad applicability.

Each phase addresses an area critical to ensuring a comprehensive planning process, and useful, dynamic plan. Additionally, all phases are viewed from three strategic planning imperatives:

  1. Leadership - Your role in creating an environment for collective engagement in planning, implementation, and change.
  2. Communication - Your role in creating and supporting investment and interest in the planning process, its progress and its outcome.
  3. Assessment - Your part in promoting the important role evaluation plays in successful change.
