Direct Connection to Policy Area 6 of The Illinois Commitment Implementation of a Strategic Planning Process Illinois Valley Community College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? When IVCC was approved as an AQIP institution by the Higher Learning Commission, our lack of a viable and effective strategic planning process was identified as a critical need. As a result, we established an AQIP action project designed to create a planning system based on the principles of continuous quality improvement (CQI) and incorporating data-based decision making Description of the effective practice: The recommendations of this team were to implement a comprehensive research and planning cycle that began with an environmental scan and ended with using the results of established measures for improvement of institutional effectiveness. While the first cycle was to be partially implemented in the 2005-06 academic year, several steps were deferred because the College was in transition between presidents from June 2005 until July 2006. Steps in the eighteen-month cycle include conducting an environmental scan, reviewing and revising mission and vision, and identifying strategic goals designed to achieve the mission. Activities are being developed at the department level and aligned with strategic goals. In addition, the College adopted key indicators of success, which are to be aligned with strategic goals. The process requires that measures, targets and cost be identified for each activity. The Strategic Leadership and Planning Council, which manages the planning process, will establish priorities for goals and activities that will then drive the budget development process. During the process of developing the new mission, vision and goals, input was sought by the Strategic Leadership and Planning Council from all staff and members of the Board of Trustees. How does this practice achieve sustainability? A clear planning cycle has been established; furthermore, the Strategic Leadership and Planning Council has the responsibility for oversight of implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of the strategic planning cycle. What are the results/measurable outcomes? Results will include: • Successful implementation of each phase of the system in 2006-07. • Measures identified for each objective included in the strategic plan, and successful completion of identified related activities. • Percentage of 2008 budget that is allocated to meet specific strategic plan objectives. • Percentage of identified activities that are completed within the identified time frame.

Direct Connection to Policy Area 6 of The Illinois Commitment Implementation of Administrative Software System National University of Health Sciences What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? Students, faculty and staff have been using a combination of self-created spreadsheets and databases to maintain important academic information. The systems were not integrated requiring additional time for multiple manual inputs of data to support student services and academic transcript data. Description of the effective practice: The institution has purchased an administrative software system that is designed to require single inputs of data that can be used by many departments. The constituents of the university are afforded the opportunity to use online portals to input and gather information on students, courses, grades, financials, etc. How does this practice achieve sustainability? The R-25 grant project is funded for four years. NUHS research faculty and administrators believe that the rich and deep educational encounters achieved by our students and faculty will maintain the program in evidence based practice beyond the life of the grant by producing health care providers that embrace a collaborative team approach to health care that will provide Illinois residents will cost effective care and at the same time expand the state’s economic base with successful practitioners. What are the results/measurable outcomes? The use of this integrated system will increase the productivity of the staff and provide more information in shorter periods of time to help with the day-to-day operations and the long range planning of the institution. Faculty and student interaction will be expanded from classroom to electronic media communication and resource availability. Contact Information Name: R. L.
