Workshop - "The Nuts and Bolts of Preparing a Strategic Plan"

Objectives:

This workshop aims to help Business Schools in developing a meaningful and realistic Strategic plan. The strategic plan is supposed to be a live document that guides organizations navigating uncharted waters. Preparing such live and rational documents requires some key prerequisites e.g. Complete ownership and support from the top management, reality-based assessment and analysis, and involvement of different stakeholders including faculty and management.

Workshop Design:

The workshop is offered to Institutions and not to individuals based on open enrollment. Those business schools having serious challenges in their strategic planning and governance issues and also commit to resolve them, should be invited to join this workshop. A cohort from each institution consisting of 4-5 people would attend the workshop. The participation of one key decision-making authority (Rector, Dean, VC) is mandatory in the first module of the workshop. The rest of the members could be Associate Dean, Director Accreditation, Program Directors, or members of the Strategic Planning Committee (if it exists). It is suggested that only 4 to 5 Institutions with a high degree of commitment should be identified by the NBEAC secretariat and invited to join this workshop.

Execution:

The workshop will be divided into three modules the details of which are provided below:
