  2. STRATEGIC PLANNING IN EDUCATION

  3. STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND • STRATEGIC PLANNING

  4. WHAT IS STRATEGY? • Latin: Strategos (the art of generalship, or how to be an effective general). • Strategic … “choosing how best to respond to circumstances of a dynamic and sometimes hostile environment” • “Being strategic requires recognizing the choices and committing to one set of responses instead of another”(Allison & Kaye, 1997)

  5. WHAT IS STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT? • “Strategic management is art and science of formulating, implementing, and evaluating cross-functional decisions that enable an organisations to achieve its objectives” (David, 2001) • “Strategic management is the process of formulation the strategic plan and implementation of the plan. It involves strategic analysis, strategic choice and strategic implementation” (Fidler, 2002)

  6. STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT A continuous process of • Identifying vision, mission, objective • Developing appropriate strategies • Implementing strategies • Monitoring implementation to achieve objective (Wright, P. , Pringle, C. and Kroll, M. Strategic Management, 1992)

  7. STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT & STRATEGIC PLANNING • “Strategic management is the process of formulating, implementing, and evaluating cross-functional decisions that enable an organisations to achieve its objectives” • Strategic planning is the process of formulating strategic plan. • Strategic management is the ‘brain’ to management; and • Strategic plan is the backbone to management. EdarisAbbu Bakar, 2004.

  8. The ABCs of Strategic Planning A Who and What are we? What do we do now? Why? B What do we want to be and do in the future? Why? C How do we get there?

  9. STRATEGIC PLAN • A strategic plan is a written document which describes where your institution wants to be in the future (usually three to five years), and the broad areas of activity that it will undertake to achieve this vision. It is different from an operational plan (or work plan), which details activities over the next 12 months (at least). • These two types of plan are closely connected, however, as the operational plans should be moving the school towards the vision defined in the strategic plan (Davies, 2002).

  10. STRATEGIC PLANNING IN EDUCATION Answers these questions • What does the school aims to achieve? • How to achieve? • When will the aim be achievable? • For whom?

  11. ...STRATEGIC PLANNING To ensure success, strategic planning • Requires involvement of all staff to ensure shared vision, commitment and sense of belonging • Needs to be developed as a culture of an organization and practiced by all members of the organization.

  12. 2. ELEMENTS OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT IN EDUCATION

  13. A PRACTICAL MODEL FOR STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT INITIAL VISION INSTITUTIONAL VALUES & CULTURE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS INSTITUTIONAL VISION MISSION STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES SWOT ANALYSIS SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES/ TACTICAL PLAN/KPI ACTION PLAN/ OPERATIONAL PLAN EVALUATION

  14. WHY AN INSTITUTION NEEDS A VISION? • As future direction for the institution • Develop confidence to manage situation or change • Encourage members of institution to work towards excellence • Develop strength and competitiveness. • Motivates change • Uniting all staff towards a common goal or purpose

  15. 1- INITIAL VISION & INSTITUTIONAL VISION • Raw or initial vision proposed by management to members of an educational institution • Purpose to initiate members to think for the future of the institution • To be refined by all members into the final vision of the institute • The process includes…

  16. a) INSTITUTIONAL VALUES AND CULTURE • Current values and culture needs to be considered seriously in defining vision (management, staff, teachers, students, parents, community) • Positive values and culture are catalyst to achievement of vision • Negative values and culture requires adjustment, prior to the formation of vision

  23. 4. SELECTING STRATEGIES/STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES • Steps or strategies to achieve the mission. Each strategy or strategic objectives is formed through SWOT analysis • Internal environment: identify strengths an weaknesses • External environment: identify opportunities and threats • SWOT Analysis for the institution to ensure steps taken are based on strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats

  24. SWOT FACTORS IN THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT OF ORGANIZATION A) THAT CAN HELP TO ACHIVE ORGANIZATIONAL OBJECTIVE – OPPURTUNITIES B) THAT PREVENT THE ACHIEVEMENT OF ORGANIZATIONAL OBJEKTIVE - THREATS FACTORS IN THE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT OF ORGANIZATION A) THAT CAN HELP TO ACHIVE ORGANIZATIONAL OBJECTIVE – STRENGTH B) THAT PREVENT THE ACHIEVEMENT OF ORGANIZATIONAL OBJEKTIVE - WEAKNESS ORGANISATIONAL OBJECTIVE

  25. 5. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES/KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Short term objectives or key performance indicators aimed at achieving the strategic objectives. Each specific objective or key performance indicator must be “SMARTER” • Specific • Measurable • Attainable • Realistic • Time bound • Exiting • Rewarding

  26. 6. ACTION PLAN • Action plan or operation plan (program and activities) is the detail steps and activities undertaken or implemented to achieve the strategic objectives

  27. 7. EVALUATION • Each activity implemented in the action plan needs to be evaluated to asses its performance or contribution towards the specific objectives • Positive outcome contributes to specific objectives and realization of vision • Each action undertaken within the action plan contributes towards the realization of vision • Corrective and contingency actions needs to be taken when performance is not in line with targeted performance.

  28.
