Karen E. Hinton in her 2012 booklet “A Practical Guide to Strategic Planning in Higher Education” stated:

“The costs of engaging in a poor planning process range from disillusioned faculty, staff, and students, to poor use of vital resources, to failed accreditation reviews which, in turn, cause an institution to lose funding and prestige. The stakes are high, but the rewards are higher. A well-designed and implemented strategic planning process can provide an institution with a forum for campus-wide conversations about important decisions.”

Higher education leaders worldwide face tough strategic decisions about the future of their institutions. A strategic plan is a living-breathing document designed to guide the growth and ambitions of the institution and is intended to serve the university and its stakeholders. It is critical to actively engage faculty, staff, students, alumni, and the community regarding substantive issues throughout the process.
