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

…………is future thinking ………..is controlling the future …………is decision making ………..is integrated decision making

…………is a formalized procedure to produce an articulate result, in the form of an integrated system of decisions

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

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

Page 9: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

Page 10: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

Page 11: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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.)

Page 12: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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.

Page 13: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

Page 14: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

Page 15: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

Page 16: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

Page 17: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

Page 18: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

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.

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

Page 23: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

Page 24: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

Page 25: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

Page 26: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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.

Page 37: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

Page 38: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

Page 39: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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)

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

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

Page 46: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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

Page 47: 2 Purpose of the Lecture Quick review of -Strategic Planning Definitions, -Methods and Planning Templates, Techniques and Tools -Logical Sequence Planning

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.
