The authors explain the central purpose of the step, discuss what results to expect, offer helpful suggestions for working with the materials, and include a set of reproducible forms or exercises that guide the process. These tested tools are designed to make the strategic planning activities more effective and streamlined.The practical material in the workbook can be applied to the wide spectrum of university and college settings, and the flexible exercises can easily integrate elements and practices that an institution may have already identified or implemented. Working Through Strategic Change is designed to help users work carefully and thoughtfully through the tasks of assembling, interpreting, and making decisions about critical information relating to the strategic planning process.
