Implementation

This plan is a framework that will be used in strategic decision making across the University. The first task of implementation will be to establish policies and procedures to ensure our activities align to this plan.

Along with a Key Performance Indicators (KPI) dashboard, a project dashboard will ensure that the activities necessary to achieve these goals are monitored, achieved, or adjusted as needed.

Where there are programmatic gaps, we will allocate existing resources to keep us on track or identify alternative revenue sources to enable success.

Key Performance Indicators

Prior to this planning process, our President identified four University-wide key performance indicators (KPIs) for UConn to strive for over the next 5-10 years, as well as a goal of achieving eligibility for membership in the Association of American Universities (AAU). During year one of implementation, we will identify additional KPIs that represent the breadth of actions across areas of focus. KPIs will help us assess progress related to the collective activities of this plan and be tracked annually via a strategic plan dashboard.
