  3. Let’s Begin with Michael Crow • How ASU, as a public institution, compressed 50 years of development into 10.

  4. Desired Meeting Outcomes • Honor to be with you again • My Hopes for this meeting: • To listen and to prioritize topics • To provide examples of strategic plans • To provide a complete Strategic Planning Framework • To use “active learning” techniques • To leave with a plan that you can accept in supporting the creation of your personalized strategic plans.

  5. It Is Clear… • The Prime Minister has published an aggressive plan for Vietnam 2011-2020. • We enter a new strategic phase in the context of rapid changes and unexpected fluctuations. • New driving forces: • Expanding democracy in the economy • The Enterprise Law • Promoting privately-run economy • Stepping-up the SOE’s • Implementing administrative reforms Source: Vietnam Magazine, “PM highlights development strategy for 2011-2020”

  6. It Is Clear… • Tendencies • Leaping development of science and technology • Formation of the Knowledge-based economy • Environmentally-friendly technologies • Deeper globalization and connectivity Source: Vietnam Magazine, “PM highlights development strategy for 2011-2020”

  7. “Maximizing the human factor, considering the people the key resource and the target of development” “Strongly developing production forces with increasingly high scientific and technological levels” Source: Vietnam Magazine, “PM highlights development strategy for 2011-2020”

  8. General Goals • “Striving to turn our country basically into a modern industrialized country by 2020; with stable, democratic, rule-governed, and consensual politics – society… • Three breakthroughs: • Perfect the socialist-oriented market economy • Rapidly develop human resources • Build a comprehensive infrastructure Source: Vietnam Magazine, “PM highlights development strategy for 2011-2020”

  9. Our Charter • Growth relies on applying new scientific and technological achievements and using skillful human resources and modern management skills. • The draft strategy sets the requirement of basic and comprehensive reform of the national education to increase the human resource’s quality.

  22. 1. What Is Included in a Strategic Plan? A look at examples An outline of your plan

  23. In The Spirit of Listening Have created the VULII Strategic Assessment Tool - “VSAT” Calculate (Desired – Current) * Value Results in Pareto of Strategic Gaps Supports a Strategic Focus with: Prioritized Gaps Defined

  24. How Use the Results • Four quadrants of results: High Low Typically Address thru Cont. Improve Of Great Strategic Interest Strategic Value Minimal Strategic Interest Typically Address as a Tactical Project Low High Strategic Gap = ( D – C)

  25. The Results • Four quadrants of results: 3.4 Institutional Priorities Addressed 5.2 Process for Student Enrollment 8.2 Reward Structure 6.1 All faculty learn modern instruction 3.1 Key drivers for performance defined 1.3 Strategic Execution Plan in place High Low Typically Address thru Cont. Improve Strategic Value Minimal Strategic Interest Typically Address as a Tactical Project Low High Strategic Gap = ( D – C)

  26. My Interpretation • 3.4 Institutional Priorities Addressed • We need to accomplish the unique strat plans by prioritizing the programs recognizing finite resources. • 5.2 Process for Student Enrollment • I assume this means attracting and educating the best talent with state-of-the-art systems • 8.2 Reward Structure for superior performance is in place • I assume you wish to identify great faculty and reward them • 6.1 All faculty learn modern instruction • Being pursued under HEAPP • 3.1 Key drivers for performance defined • Being pursued under the QA initiative • 1.3 Strategic Execution Plan in place • I assume this means that we need a Strategic Planning framework that can develop solid linkages from Goals to Actions and then insure the Actions are accomplished according to the plan. What do these mean to you?

  27. Exercise #1 Expected Accomplishments for 2012-2013? • Each University will have a customized strategic plan. • Each University and College will have a target set of metrics to judge progress. • Each University and College leader will understand the strategic planning process and a strategic framework model. • Each University and College will have created the means to provide the resources needed for strategic plan success. • An overall approach to creating a strategic Center of Excellence plan is developed and beginning to be implemented. • Each University will have launched the creation of the organization needed for strategic success (if different from their current organization.) • Each University and College will have an appropriate workload model with rewards • Each University will have a student attraction / retention plan • Each University will have key drivers for performance identified. • Each University will have made commitments to implement the plans.

  28. Exercise #1 • ACID TEST #1: • Please be able to say the following: • “If we accomplish each of the line items listed, we will MEET the expectations of Vietnam and MOET / MOLISA!!!”

  29. A Review of Strategic Plan Contents Starting with the End in Mind - What Does Your Final Product Look Like?

  39. 3. How Institutions Create a Strategic Plan

  40. Let’s Start with a Short Video Michael Porter on “What is Strategy”

  41. Terminology I Use • To gain consensus: What How Goal Strategy Program Action Required Long Term Near Term

  42. The 5 C’s Context SocialValues Rivals Technology Competitors Entrants Buyers Global FirmCompetencies Customers Substitutes Politics CoreProductAttributes Suppliers Economy Regulation Lifestyles

  43. - The Five Competitive Forces That Determine Industry Competition - Bargaining Power of Buyers Threat of New Entrants Rivalry Among Existing Competitors Threats of Substitute Products or Services Bargaining Power of Suppliers Source : Michael E. Porter, The Competitive Advantage of Nations, The Free Press, 1990.

  44. Again, a short Video This time: Michael Porter on Five Forces

  45. Fourteen Questions • What will allow us to achieve a Sustainable Differentiation? • Which of the 5C’s should we worry about and what can we do to mitigate? • Which of the Five Factors should we worry about and what can we do to mitigate?

  46. 4. How to Achieve a Sustainable Differentiation Key element of “winning the game”

  47. Distinctive Competence • Distinctive Competence is a company strength which is difficult or impossible for competitors to duplicate, imitate or match. • Competencies can be based upon: • Tangible resources • Intangible resources • Capabilities

  48. Critical Success Factors Unlike distinctive competencies, these are skills or resources necessary for survival, or to avoid suboptimal performance. Success factors can be identified by asking: • What does our customer want? • What skills do our competitors possess?

  49. Characteristics of a Strategic Resource or Capability • Has value • Is rare • Is imperfectly imitatable • No substitutes

  50. Who What How Strategic Planning andExecution Process Customer Structure Info & DecisionProcesses Task Rewards People Competencies Sustainable Advantage
