Strategiese beplanning Strategic planning

Strategiesebeplanningwerkswinkel Strategiesebeplanningwerkswinkel 27 Jan 2014 Kampusbestuur se opdrag aan prof Coetzee Terugvoering: a)Profiel van die Fakulteit i.Kompleks (Geskiedenis) ii.Navorsingsuitsette, meting verseker die realisering van doelwitte –Min personeel besig met navorsing –Vakgroepe wat in vyf jaar geen publikasies gelewer het nie –Die grootste uitdaging is sinergie tussen navorsing en onderrig. –Die oplossing is dat die Scholarship of Teaching and Learning uitgebou word tot ʼn Eenheid oor vyf jaar en so onderrig en navorsing saambind iii.Benutting van personeel ter ondersteuning aan akademici iv.Grootte van die OAL-komponent v.Vermeerdering van NGOS-getalle vi.Dialoog eerder as debat vii.Proaktief eerder as reaktief viii.Verbetering van Fakulteit se beeld in die Fakulteit, op Kampus en nasionaal

b)Riglyn vir die bepaling van ʼn visie en missie i.Die Fakulteit moet ʼn bestemming daarstel wat voldoen aan die Kampus- en Institusionele planne, wat ʼn oorkoepelende doel bevat en organisatories logies sowel as emosioneel en moreel logies is. c)Punte om te oorweeg by die daarstel van ʼn bestemming i.Waarom bestaan die Fakulteit? Wil ons oplossings bied in Suid-Afrika of die leiersposisie inneem ten opsigte van ander Fakulteite van Opvoedkunde. ii.Wat is ons “besigheid” en wat wil ons daardeur bereik? Het ons ʼn kompeterende voordeel bo ons eweknieë? iii.Hoekom wil ons by dié Fakulteit werk en waarin glo ons? iv.Watter standaarde wil ons handhaaf? Hoe wil ons optree en wat sal ons anders wil doen? v.Hoe sal ons weet dat ons progressie maak in ons uitsette anders as om dit te meet? vi.Wat is elkeen van die personeel se verantwoordelikheid en bydrae tot die Universiteit?

d)Overall purpose defined by strategic planning group Two suggestions: what do you think? i.Making a difference through and in Education ii.Leading through and in Education e)Important for all the personnel to embrace the following: i.What must we start doing?: –Everyone working together towards excellence –Action plans to improve our image –Work on defining what our common culture is ii.What must we stop doing?: –Underestimating colleagues –Stop passing the buck (take own responsibility) –Work to reduce bureaucratisation Strategiesebeplanningwerkswinkel Strategiesebeplanningwerkswinkel 27 Jan 2014
