Henry Mintzberg:”The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning”.
Planning is an activity to:
Envisage and formulate the desirable future in conjunction with the feasibility, the possibility, and the probability for achieving them.
Planning

Strategic PlanningStrategic Planning
Every organization must have target oriented plans for its sustenance and progression
Plans serve as guides/road maps of the organization over the next few years (5 to 10 years) on different aspects; examples
– Overall Institutional Development - Master Plan/Corporate Plan
– Sub-Sectors -Thematic Development/Sectoral Development Plan
The process of developing the guide/road map is called strategic planning
7
Strategic PlanningStrategic Planning
Strategic planning is a tool for organizing the present on the basis of the projections of the desired future. Basically the process addresses the following questions;
– Where are we?
– What do we have to work with?
– Where do we want to be?
– How do we get there?

Why planning is Why planning is important ?important ?
It is also the first and indispensable step in developing
Results-based Accountability System (RBA) &
Managing Public Sector Institutions for Development Results (MfDR)
• In spite of Govt. directives, RBA and MfDR are not yet in place in Sri Lankan Universities
9
Why planning is Why planning is important ?important ?
Hence, most public sector institutions, particularly Universities are managed adopting
“business as usual” approach,
a mind set to achieve the target of “less audit quarries, less problems, hence work” and
“lets wait and see’’ approach to react only when problems arise, and hence usually adopting “fire fighting” approach to resolve problems.
Blame Govt. and UGC for all “ills” and seek more funds for solving problems, implying “lack of funds” as the cause of the inefficiency, low productivity and poor governance
10
Why planning is Why planning is important ?important ?
However, the complacency of public sector institutions is being challenged and public sector institutions are urged to develop Results-based Accountability System (RBA) to ensure the institutions are Managed for Development Results (MfDR)
The key elements of (RBA) /MfDR are
– Planning
– Implementation and
– Rigorous monitoring,
– Reviewing and
– Planning again for the future on the basis of the past experience and environmental forces and opportunities that exist, in order to remain competitive and to gain comparative advantage and consolidate, and sustain
11
Why planning is Why planning is important ?important ?
Planning is done for many purposes and hence several types of plans
1. University Master Plan
2. University Corporate Plan
3. Development Plans for University Sub-units (e.g. Institute, Faculty, Centers etc; often referred as Corporate Plans)
4. Development Plans for sub-sectors (e.g. HRD Plan, R&D plan, ICT Development Plan etc.)
5. Project Proposals for Externally funded Projects (e.g. WB-IRQUE-QEF, WB-HETC-UDG etc.)
12
Several Types of University Plans
1. University Master Plan It refers to long-range development and expansion plan of a university in terms of several key aspects of the organization and it primarily concentrates on capital budging.
Examples :
Projected enrolment and staffing levels over the years,
Initial, current and future academic programmes,
Current space and future requirements,
Types of Training Programmes (eg. professional or liberal arts),
Resource base – land, buildings, endowments etc.,
Health, safety, welfare and accessibility issues, Etc.
13
1.University Master Plan ….. Contd.Usually done at the beginning by the planners of the university and the government allocates funds annually on the basis of master plan activities
e.g. Master Plan for University of Ceylon, prepared by Sir Ivor Jennings in 1942
This differs from Corporate plans as Corporate Plans are considered as revolving plans with 3-5 year cycles
Several Types of University Plans
14
2. University Corporate Plan Corporate Planning for Universities is guided by Government Policy and Development Framework, which is conveyed by the M/HE and UGC on regular basis
Corporate Plan refers to operational plans with 3-5 year cycles which includes long-range elements (Mater Plan elements) as well as strategic elements which have bearing on key performance indicators (these are referred as Strategic Issues)
efficiency and productivity,
governance and management,
relevance and quality of UG and PG programmes,
social and ethnic harmony,
sustainability,
etc.
Several Types of University Plans
15
2. University Corporate Plan … contd.
Corporate planning begins by identifying university vision, mission and goals and moves on to a series of analyses, including
– analysis of external and internal factors
– gaps, &
– bench marks,
which provide a context and scope (i.e. project planning matrix ) for developing and identifying organization’s strategic issues .
Several Types of University Plans
16
2. University Corporate Plan … contd.
Once the organization defines its planning scope, strategic issues, and planning matrix, it moves on to analyze current status that will reveal gaps, problems and root causes of problems.
Finally, based on situation analysis report, 3-5 year operational plan is prepared on the basis of agreed University Development Policy Framework that includes goals, objectives, strategies and activity plans and performance indicators.
Several Types of University Plans
17
3. Development Plans for University Sub-units. They are often referred as Corporate Plans of respective units.
e.g.
Institutes,
Faculties
Centers,
Etc.
often referred as Corporate Plans of Units
These plans are developed on the basis of University Development Policy Framework and It is done as a part of strategic planning process leading to development of University Corporate Plan
Several Types of University Plans
18
4. Development Plans sub-sectors/specific themes as dictated by the University Corporate Plan.
e.g.
Human Resources Development Plan,
Research and Development Plan,
Information Communication Technology Development Plan,
Quality Assurance and Accreditation Road Plan, etc.
This is done during the process of implantation of the University Corporate Plan
Several Types of University Plans
19
5. Project Proposals for Externally funded Projects
(e.g. WB-IRQUE-QEF, WB-HETC-UDG, etc.)
(usually for project funded activities on specific themes defined by the funding agency)
Research and Development Project Plan (eg.SiDA,CIDA,EU…funded projects)
Human Resources Development Project Plan (eg. ADB-Manpower Development Project)
Quality Improvement Project Plans (eg. WB-IRQUE-QEF/IGB, WB-HETC-UDG/QIG , etc.)
Etc.
Several Types of University Plans

Planning for Public Sector Planning for Public Sector InstitutionsInstitutions
Strategic planning is a cyclic and dynamic process (refers here to Institutional Development Plan - Corporate Plan)
Planning – programming, identification and formulation
Implementation and progress monitoring on annual basis
Reviewing and revising periodically
(say every 2-3 years), and
Updating – every 4-5 years as necessary, depending on internal and external driving and opposing factors
23
Planning for Public Sector - Guided by several determinants
1. Policy of the Government, conveyed to universities through
2. Sectoral Development Framework prepared by the line ministry
(for university sector - Ministry of Higher Education and University Grants Commission) and
3. Institution Mandate and Vision, Mission and Goals
Planning for Public Sector Planning for Public Sector InstitutionsInstitutions
24
Planning for Planning for UniversitiesUniversities
Therefore, the first step in developing University Corporate Plan is the development of University Development Policy Framework (UDPF).
When preparing/updating the University Development Policy Framework (UDPF), the institution must consider its determinants Policy of the Government
Higher Education Development Framework prepared by M/HE and UGC
Institution Mandate and specific Vision, Mission and Goals
25
Planning for university proceeds through 3 successive stages
1. Development of UDPF
2. Development of Units Action Plans - on the basis of UDPF, Central Administration,
Campuses,
Institutes,
Faculties and Centers
3. Formulation of University Corporate Plan – a composite plan incorporating the Action Plans of Central Administration, Campuses, Institutes, Faculties and Centers
Planning for Planning for UniversitiesUniversities
26
Therefore, corporate planning in universities involves iterative," top down” and “bottom up” approach,
In summary, Firstly, Vice Chancellor and the Council developing University Development Policy Framework (UDPF)
Secondly, the central administration, campuses, faculties, institutes and centers developing theirunit action or development plans on the basis of UDPF
Finally, compiling and preparing Composite Corporate Plan of the University.

Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
Strategic Plan/Corporate Plan/Master Plan
Plan of action agreed upon by stake-holders of an institution, company or division or unit to perform its mandatory function as sated in its mission and to achieve its vision in conformity with the national policy and programmes and regulations
31
Vision – It sets out the reason for organization's existence and the ideal state that the organization aims to achieve in conformity with its mandate or core business.
Mission – It is broad, comprehensive statement of the purpose or programme of the institution (or mandate of the institution) and major goals and performance objectives
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
32
Goal (s) – It is the long range condition of well-being of the institution or the intended future direction of the institution
Objective (s) - Description of the aims of activity or activities or project in order to achieve the desired state or future direction. Objectives must be Specific, Measurable, Achievable & Realistic and Time-framed (SMART).
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
33
Benchmarking
– Measuring and comparing the university's operation, practices, and performance against others is useful for identifying “best” practices.
– Through an on going systematic benchmarking, university could find a reference point for setting their own goals and objectives and targets
Benchmarks – target level of performance expressed in measurable terms and specified
time-frames.
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
34
Strategic Issues –
Fundamental issues that an institution identifies (in consistent with it vision and mission and through analysis
of internal and external factors) as of critical importance for its existence and sustenance
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
35
Strategic Issues …. Contd.
Example for a model University Student intake compared demand and Preference Given by higher performers (Access and Demand)
Standards of teaching and training programmes (Quality)
Compatibility of undergraduate training and intended learning outcomes with market needs (Relevance)
Teaching and learning facilities and academic and student support services and social and ethnic harmony (Academic Atmosphere and Social Harmony)
Level and quality of graduate and postgraduate output and quantity and quality of research and development output (Efficiency and Productivity)
Standard and efficiency of administrative and financial management (Governance and Management)
Income and Expenditure and income generation (Sustainability), Etc,
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
36
Situation Analysis - refers to analysis of current status of the organization and analyzing internal and external environment and factors that influence its existence and performance, progress and sustainability
Situation Analysis is also referred as self-evaluation and it forms an indispensable step in planning.
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
37
Situation analysis (… contd)
Situation analysis encompasses 5 complementary, and mutually exclusive steps and activities.
I. Self-Evaluation - Normative assessment of performance of an institution based on hard data, collected, collated and analyzed using effective tools according to a prescribed format
II. PEST Analysis – Assessment of Political. Social, Economic & Technological Trends that influence the overall vision, mission, goals, objectives & activities of an institution
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
38
Situation analysis (… contd)
III. SWOT Analysis – Assessment of internal (strengths and weakness) & external factors (opportunities and threats) that influence performance & outputs of an institution
IV. GAP Analysis - Assessment of gaps between the present status and future status agreed upon
V. Root-cause Analysis –Identification of root causes of problems and views of stakeholders on alternative solutions and feasible and possible activities.
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
39
Situation analysis (… contd)
Situation analysis hence, identifies
strategic issues,
gaps to be bridged or filled
Goals and problems
root causes of problems, and
to some extent ideas about alternative solutions.
Therefore, Situation Analysis forms the Framework for Development Planning (FDP)
The Report Coming out of Self-Evaluation is referred to as Self-evaluation Report (SER)
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
40
Development Plan Formulation
It proceeds from Situation Analysis and refers to formulation of most appropriate and cost effective strategies and accompanying activities that have bearing on
Key strategic issues
Gaps identified and goals to be achieved
Problems identified,
in order to perform its mission and realize its vision.
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
41
Development Plan Formulation …. Contd.
Therefore, it involves 4 steps
Identification of gaps to be filled and goals,
Root causes of identify identified problems,
Factors that have restraining and aggravating influences on goals/problems, and
Developing Activity Plans to achieve goals and/or resolve problems
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
42
Development Plan Formulation ..… contd.
There are 3 invaluable tools that could be used at this stage
GAP Analysis
Root Cause Analysis
Force-field Analysis
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
43
Development Plan Formulation ….. Contd.
Once the activities are selected or chosen,details of each selected activity are developed according to prescribed format that will ensure smooth implementation and progress monitoring.
– Background & Rationale
– Objectives
– Mechanism and Design and details of activities and sub-activities
– Implementation schedule
– Resources required
– Performance indicators
– Sustainability
– Person-in-charge
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
44
Development Plan Formulation (…contd)
At this stage, if one wishes, Log Framework Template to map out the details of the chosen activities could be used
Note - It is not covered in this lecture
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
45
Activity – Specific tasks to be undertaken in order to obtain results or to achieve the objectives
Investment-based activities- e.g. Improve laboratory infrastructure
Outcome-based activities – e.g. Improve analytical and practical skills of undergraduates for which improvement of laboratory infra-structure is an essential investment
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
46
Activity …. Contd.
For most development agencies, the current norm is to promote planning outcome-based activities (e.g. WB-IRQUE and WB-HETC) – that is to provide investment to support activities which are aimed at achieving a desired outcome or output.
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
47
Investment – Inputs needed to support & help to implement the activities
Activity Schedule – a graphic representation similar to a bar chart, listing the activities & sub activities, funds allocated, listing persons responsible for implementation of the activity, setting out the timing, sequence and duration of project activities (e.g. Gantt Chart).
Gantt Chart – format that allows to summarize the project framework and activities into a single sheet or screen and also which helps record the progress of the project as it progresses.
Strategic Planning: Strategic Planning: DefinitionsDefinitions
48
Performance monitoring - Refers to evaluation of level of achievement or success of the activity or project carried out against performance indicators or benchmarks agreed upon or defined at the onset or the commencement of activity or programme.
Performance indicators – measurable or quantifiable indicator variables – pre-project, mid-term and end-project
Benchmarks – target level of performance expressed in measurable terms and specified timed-frames.
