Do your current challenges include the creation of a new initiative, practice or strategy? Do you feel the need for organization conversation that is safe, open and generative? Are you looking for the tools which to lead change? We can help.
The Office of Institutional Planning helps groups and their leaders through challenging issues through custom applications of four assets:
|
- Collaborative group processes
- Past and current trends in higher education planning
- Visual practices that create group memory and shared understanding
- The ability to help integrate accreditation, assessment and strategy with the help of our larger organization: Institutional Planning, Research and Effectiveness
|
We don’t plan things, solve problems or create new projects – we help you do that, and in ways that create fun, engagement and commitment. Your group will have the benefit of practices such as the Workshop Method, Focused Conversations and Idealized Design. Our conversations will include phrases like “Safe Space,” “Whole Systems” and “Why predict the future when you can design it instead?” Our visual processes will help your group members see what they mean.
For more information, contact Bruce Flye at 328-9481 or by e-mail. We look forward to working with you!
Where We Can Help
Strategic Planning, about which we tend to irreverent: it’s not about stuffing a notebook. Visualize an engagement in which the word “plan” is a verb, where the conversations matter, where undiscussables are surfaced, where conditions can be created under which our shared visions emerge;
Project Planning conducted with groups and using visual methods through which everyone can not only see the ideas coming together but also share commitment to implementation;
Campus Space Planning, where we work with the campus community to extend this limited resource as far as possible in a manner that respects the need for strategic and creative options.
