The best strategic planning comes from an integrated approachto how it is structured, assessed, and implemented. The Society for College and University Planning has long offered its members andother individuals the opportunity to learn about the theory and processes that make up integrated planning through the SCUP PlanningInstitute workshops, Steps I, II, and III.Starting in July 2009, these Steps will be even more reflective of the integration and strategy building processes, with Step I now beinga requirement to take Step II. SCUP offers members the opportunity of bringing the entire series of Planning Institute workshops tocampus for your team. That’s even more important now with institutions feeling the pressures of lost revenue and funding. Individualsand teams who want to build an integrated planning process will work through a case study that addresses the complexities of meetingmultiple stakeholders’ needs. Step I models the elements of effective planning by creating a collaborative environment through thedelivery of the workshop content. The Planning Institute models the elements of effective planning by ensuring that participants havethe opportunity to address the questions they brought and to understand how integrated planning addresses issues of accountabilityand accreditation.Interested in bringing the Institute to your campus?
