University Strategic Plan 2011 ‐ Lessons learned USP goals, objectives and strategies need to be more concise and perhaps fewer Strategies need to be clearly stated and related to each goal and objective (graduation rates example) Establishment of clearly defined metrics must be completed when plan is drafted Source of data for metrics should be defined at the beginning as well Content of university/division/college/department annual reports should be aligned with metrics in USP

University Strategic Plan 2011 ‐ Lessons learned continued... Benchmarks or targets to assess progress for each strategy should be clearly defined when plan is drafted Resources needed to achieve each strategy should be identified and listed in USP when new plan is drafted Assessment of USP should also include an evaluation of resource allocation towards each strategy Assessment of progress towards goals and resource allocation should be conducted on a annual basis to allow for implementation of corrective actions
