Institutionalizing a Planning Culture: A Model for Strategic Planning and Continuous Improvement
Presenter(s): Samuel A. Kirkpatrick, Eastern Michigan University; Donald M. Loppnow, Eastern Michigan University
Convener: Joan Racki, Board of Regents, State of Iowa

This presentation will explore a model for bringing about changes in organizational culture through planning and measurement of outcomes. The model for an inclusive, biennial top-down, bottom-up strategic planning process will be presented as the primary instrument for bringing about change. The planning model incorporates a continuous improvement culture based on data-driven decision making. One of the important outcomes of the planning process is to create a culture of reflective practice, quality enhancement, and accountability for planning outcomes.
