There are resources available to assist Units with their plans as they implement and refine them, outlined below (you must have a Penn State email address to access these resources). We welcome feedback on these resources regarding their utility in the development and implementation of Unit plans. To provide feedback, please email strategicplan@psu.edu

• A planning resource guide, which provides guidance on how to develop a strategic plan for your Unit.
• ADAPT: A Quick Guide for Strategic Planning During the COVID-19 Pandemic
• A template outlining the format for Unit level strategic plans.
• A self-review form for a final check of your draft Unit plan.
• An implementation guide intended to be a resource as you complete your strategic plan to 2025.
• A list of Administrative Data Sources at Penn State to assist with where to find data.
• The Strategic Plan Assessment of our institutional plan from 2016-2019.

Assistance with developing these processes and resources was provided by the Unit Planning Advisory Group, a task force comprised of members from a cross section of the campus, college, and administrative units.

Some additional resources that can help units in showing how their plan supports the university strategic plan foundations:

• Advancing Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity – Penn State Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, additional Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Resources
• Ensuring a Sustainable Future – Sustainability Planning Guidebook
• Enhancing Global Engagement – Global Engagement User Guide

After Unit strategic plans have been submitted, they have been entered into the system we use at Penn State for strategic planning. Access to this system will be granted to Unit planning personnel after the final plan revisions are updated. OPAIR will be providing an initial training to familiarize Units with the system and tailor it to your needs. Additional training resources for the system can be found on the OPAIR website at https://opair.psu.edu/nuventive-planning/. Users can login to the system using their PSU credentials at https://solutions.nuventive.com/.

Feedback and questions can be submitted to strategicplan@psu.edu, or call the Office of Planning, Assessment, and Institutional Research at (814) 863-8721. To schedule a meeting directly, click here for a list of our services and scheduling options.
