Strategic Planning Revisited: Still Changing After All These Years

Presenter(s): Nancy Shulock, California State University-Sacramento
Convener: Gita Hendessi, Board of Regents of the Univ Sys of Georgia

California State University, Sacramento¹s (CSUS) planning process has served the campus effectively for 10 years with its loose integration of planning, budgeting, and assessment. With rising expectations for assessment and accountability, however, some tightening was needed. Learn how the process met its limitations and the changes that were implemented to promote (1) budgets that reflect campus priorities, (2) assessment of goal achievement, (3) increased campuswide understanding of planning and decision making, and (4) a more dynamic institution. Just how tightly structured should a planning process should be? The bias at CSUS is for maximal flexibility and minimal rigidity.

This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-seventh annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–37, in San Diego, CA (USA), in July of 2002.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–37 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP–37, our digital archives of SCUP–37 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
