Strategic Planning and Performance Excellence

Integrated Planning

Integrated means that no part of the planning process takes place in alone from the other parts.

Integrated planning shows an organization's complete planning and control system.

The three parts of integrated planning are:

• the strategic plan
• the action plan
• the results management processes.

The integrated performance excellence framework for the Alamo Colleges District points all colleges and district support operations units to strengthen the connection between the strategic plan, the action plans, and the budget.

The framework requires the integration of strategic and action planning with a process where performance is evaluated, controlled, reported, and improved.

Taking corrective action involves improving actual performance, adjusting the performance standard (target), or both. Performance reports, including scorecards and dashboards, bring closure to action plans.

The alignment and integration of strategic planning, performance budgeting, and performance measurement are critical to ensure student success at the Alamo Colleges District.
