Topic Area: Information Session

Abstract:
Tackling big student success issues (transfer student success; communication policies) is a massive undertaking often requiring large workgroups with diverse perspectives. Often these projects or initiatives are unsuccessful or fizzle out due to lack of a clearly defined scope or inability to move from discussion/problem identification to action/solutions.
Strategic Doing is a project management framework that helps groups move from discussion into action in 10 easy and clearly defined steps. In this session, we will explain what Strategic Doing is and how we have successfully used it in our work on campus. We will then do an overview of how participants can incorporate strategic doing in their work on campus and lead participants through the first few steps of strategic doing. Participants should come with a complex problem they have tried to solve or a topic they have had issues moving from talk to action to work through during the session.
