Strategic Plan Guidelines

The development and implementation of the UT Integrated Strategic Plan is guided by six principles:

  1. The strategic plan serves as a foundation for programmatic investments and resource allocations.
  2. Broad involvement from stakeholders in the development and implementation process is encouraged.
  3. Performance metrics are strategic and measurable.
  4. Strategic planning is a continual process.
  5. Faculty and staff performance reviews shall recognize contributions to achieve the university’s goals.
  6. Routine communication with all stakeholders provides transparency.

Incorporating these six basic principles in the strategic planning process ensures a strategic direction is maintained at all times, stakeholders have ownership in the plan’s success, and the university is held accountable for achieving its mission through an annual assessment process. Through continual communications, transparency in our operations is achieved.

Important to the achievement of the UT Integrated Strategic Plan is an understanding of the university’s mission by the stakeholders and their commitment to achieving the desired outcomes.
