Implementation & Assessment
The strategic planning process in 2008 - 2009 engaged all parts of the W&M community and produced a five-year strategic planning framework. The framework includes goals and implementation steps for addressing each challenge. We will review and update the framework annually.
Implementation will include assignment of responsibility for each goal and step, development of specific metrics to track outcomes, and reports of performance against those measures. As a result, our planning and financial processes will become more transparent and more focused on strategic priorities.
The complete progress report (pdf) presents implementation steps under each challenge for fiscal year 2010 (FY10), metrics for FY10, and the evolving planning framework for FY11-14.
The sections below provide implementation steps for FY10 under each challenge:
- Be a leader among liberal arts universities.
- Build and support a more fully diverse W&M community.
- Develop an ever more engaging campus experience that inspires a lifelong commitment to W&M.
- Implement a new financial model that can fund our aspirations.
- Provide the administrative resources and infrastructure required for a university in the 21st Century.
- Explain and promote W&M through a more effective communications structure and strategy.
