AY 06-07 Strategic Planning Work Groups

In January 2007, the University Planning and Budgeting Committee [UPBC] formed and charged fifteen broadly constituted ad hoc committees called Planning Work Groups [PWGs] to carry Rockhurst AY 06-07 strategic planning through Spring 2007.

Each Planning Work Group's membership, charge, and current set of working documents are available to members of the Rockhurst community using these hot-links:

Planning Work Groups consist of faculty, staff, students, alumni, Regents, and Trustees. Each PWG focuses on 1-3 Strategic Directions, and is charged to accomplish the following tasks:

  1. Recommend minor edits to Strategic Direction text to enhance clarity or refine focus if necessary.
  1. Develop Objectives and Action Plans to support the Strategic Direction[s].
    1. Where appropriate, identify and link on-going initiatives to Strategic Directions.
    2. Where necessary, sequence actions and identify AY objectives over 3-5 years to achieve a Strategic Direction.
    3. Estimate the resources necessary to accomplish Action Plans and achieve Objectives. 
  1. Identify metrics to measure progress toward achievement of this / these Strategic Direction[s].

Chairs for each PWG meet every three weeks with the University Strategic Planning and Budgeting Committee to review progress, share results, and ensure coordination.

In May, the UPBC prepares a first draft of Rockhurst University Strategic Plan 2007-2012. In June, we share this first draft with the Board of Trustees for input and guidance. After a summer spent completing and refining portions of the document, we present Strategic Plan 2007-2012 to the Board of Trustees for approval in September 2007.
