2021年战略计划

我们是如何走到这一步的...

菠菜稳台子目前运营的大部分战略计划都是在2017年之前开始的, 当时菠菜稳台子董事会与咨询公司Brailsford签订了合同 & Dun-lavey to work with Limestone’s Strategic Planning Committee to conduct market research and interview stakeholders with the major deliverable being a new Strategic Plan. From that information, Brailsford & Dunlavey向董事会建议，菠菜稳台子将重点放在四个主要战略目标上. 《十大菠菜台子》的执行期预计为7至10年，分三个阶段: 稳定(2-3年)，转型(5-7年), Maturation (5-10 years). The 校董会 voted to implement the consultants’ Strategic Plan in Spring 2017 starting the academic year 2017-2018.

2018年1月, 菠菜稳台子的领导层设立了14个工作组，以收集教师的额外反馈, 工作人员, 和学生, 加强和更新董事会于2017年最初通过的战略计划. 可操作项目被添加到战略计划跟踪文档中，作为解决战略目标的行动项目, 战术, 和目标. Limestone 领导人hip also recommended adding a fifth strategic goal: Ensure Limestone’s stability and growth through support, 识别, 透明度, 为有目标的教职员工培养家庭文化, 战术, 这些目标也源于工作组的建议. 更新后的战略计划已于2018年4月提交董事会并获得董事会批准.

That updated plan provided a direction that was ambitious but achievable and a logical extension of Limestone’s historic strengths that would require the institution to stretch and change. 更新并通过的2019年战略计划旨在 稳定十大菠菜台子，为增长铺平道路——专注于招聘目标, support infrastructure, 社区, 资源, 和文化.

我们要去哪里?...

菠菜稳台子将于2020年夏天完成“开车上大学”计划, Limestone 领导人hip set a course later that year to develop a Limestone University Strategic Plan that will be considered for adoption by the 校董会 on April 16, 2021. 现在是专注于转型的时候了.

As it charts its path forward, Limestone will undoubtedly continue its mission to educate 学生 from diverse backgrounds in the liberal arts and selected professional disciplines. 在培育过程中, 以基督教理想和道德原则为基础的支持性环境, the University will also continue to offer opportunities for personal and professional growth to individuals who may find access to higher education difficult.

与这些基本信念和价值观并行, Limestone has also developed and implemented new programs and partnerships to enhance the University’s status and to reposition Limestone to better serve the needs of South Carolina and its 学生. 莱姆斯通大学致力于为学生提供理想的职业道路私立大学质量教育, 但其净成本与该州的地区公共机构相当.

新的项目和伙伴关系正在进行，更多的项目和伙伴关系正在酝酿之中, 现在正是制定2021年战略计划的时候，这将使莱姆斯通大学达到新的高度.

Gathering input for the plan...

Limestone 领导 partnered with Credo to build the framework needed to develop and implement a new Strategic Plan that is flexible, 适应性强的, 和迭代.

Credo is a comprehensive higher education consulting firm that specializes in working with independent colleges and universities. Credo与全国各地的总统和内阁成员合作, 以独立的高等教育领导获得前所未有的机会和信任.

菠菜稳台子最新的战略规划始于Credo对大学现有数据和计划的审查, then the process began to build on our success by incorporating wide-reaching 社区 buy-in and infusing that input with best- and next- practices.

总统的内阁成员亲自会见了克林顿博士. 帕克和Credo公司的代表于10月8日举行了11个小时的战略计划研讨会 & 9. 除了收集副总统的意见, the group invited additional 工作人员 and faculty members to form a Strategic Plan Committee that would begin meeting in the early part of 2021.

During the two-day session, 作为其“战略地图”发展的一部分, 该小组在制定新的战略计划时确定了三个重点领域:

• 承诺 & 对成功的信念
• Transforming Expectations
• 关注未来

从那里, the group identified four different objectives to consider (referred to by Credo as “file cabinet drawers”) under each theme.

对计划进行分类(被Credo称为“文件柜抽屉里的文件夹”), 该组织将他们的目标与四个标准联系起来:

• 学生 & 利益相关者
• 内部流程
• Organizational Capacity
• 金融资源

10月21日, Credo进行了一个虚拟的“社区日”，以收集整个校园社区的意见. 200多名教职员工参加了为期3个小时的会议.

Credo与董事会的虚拟输入会议于10月30日举行.

Building a strategic road map...

2021年1月, 总统内阁和战略计划委员会举行了三次不同的会议，其中两次实际上总共持续了四个小时, a third time face-to-face for four hours – to review the data gathered from the 校董会 and the faculty/工作人员 in order to prepare for the next steps in the planning process.

Through those meetings, the Strategic Plan Committee developed three Theme Teams that would go on to meet in February four times for a combined total of eight hours each. 这些主题小组会议的一部分以虚拟方式举行，而其他会议则面对面举行.

这是在1月22日与总统内阁及战略计划委员会举行的主题小组启动会议上达成的协议, 2021, 三个主题小组由Mike Cerino/Stacey Mason共同担任主席, 莫妮卡Baloga / K.C. 巴恩希尔和迈克尔·沙夫/查尔斯·怀亚特. During that January 22 meeting, 执行委员会与Credo进行了面对面的培训，与各自的主题小组一起实践建议的活动.

. 也, 作为1月22日培训的一部分, 总统’s Cabinet and Strategic Plan Committee did training that would be used during the four February meetings with the Theme Teams. 培训内容包括审查/组织来自校园社区的数据(为每个抽屉创建“文件夹”)。, determining what might have been missed that needs to be added to the file folder and shaping up some of the identified initiatives, 通过给每个计划一个完成的时间框架来确定通往成功的道路, prioritizing each initiative.

继2月份主题小组的四次会议之后, 然后，每个小组的联合主席总结了他们的发现，并将这些发现提交给Dr. 请帕克先生审阅和考虑.

主题小组联合主席向博士提交了报告. 确定目标的帕克(抽屉标题), 计划(每个抽屉中的文件夹), initiative descriptions, a success matrix for year one, a success plan for years 2-5, 最终成功度量标准，以确定每个计划的理想/完整目标, 以及一份计划的优先顺序清单.

3月18日, 2021, 总统, 总统’s Cabinet, the Strategic Plan Committee met virtually for six hours to provide feedback and recommend prioritization of the Theme Team summaries. 从那里，博士. 帕克编辑了这些建议，以制定4月16日提交给董事会的战略计划, 2021.
