How does the broader “One University” mindset extend to how resources are being allocated?

The University’s goal is to strengthen not just individual schools but also the University as a whole. Financial and operational support will be allocated based on the areas of top priority for the University more broadly, while also recognizing the unique opportunities that are present across the community.

How long will these resources support my activities?

The University has prepared a resource plan specifically for the first phase of the implementation, which is the 2024 academic year. Resource allocation will be based on prioritized objectives and tactics, implementation readiness of those objectives and tactics, and their potential impact on plan goals. Tactics have been developed to be implemented or started within the 2024 fiscal year. Each year, we will review our tactics progress and measures of success to determine common barriers, successes, and resources that may be needed to advance the objective or tactic. Additional details will be communicated once the resource plan is finalized.

Where can I find resources to implement tactics?

University leadership is in the process of linking sources of funding and nonfinancial resources with strategic planning priorities. Additional details will be communicated as decisions are made. Contact us via email at boundless@rochester.edu with questions and/or requests.

How will performance be tracked?

The University intends to expand its use of additional data collection, tracking, and analysis in implementation activities, ensuring that how we track progress directly aligns with established accountability metrics.

How will activities be reported?

The University intends to expand its direct reporting infrastructure to ensure accountability metrics are not only followed but are reported to immediate owners of tactics, objectives, and goals. The University also will host a public, institutional dashboard for all stakeholders to track progress of implementation.

How will my implementation involvement be captured?

Executive leaders have begun to socialize accountability metrics, clearly identifying leader and school and business unit expectations, measures of success, how success is defined, and necessary changes that will be enacted should schools or units not succeed in their objectives. The University also has already begun to expand its data and decision support infrastructure to better support analytics, tracking, and synthesis of plan progress.

What tools will be available to help support my work?

The Implementation Leader is currently developing a manager toolkit that provides comprehensive materials for Cabinet, school and business unit leaders, middle managers, and stakeholders alike. Key documents that will be included in the Toolkit include the following: Implementation slide deck with overview of strategic plan; Framework for aligning planning activities with strategic plan; FAQs; and User Guide for Toolkit.

How should I prioritize my work?

Your manager will continue to be your primary supervisor for all work responsibilities. They will ensure that you have a clear sense of which work aligning with the plan will be prioritized and which current activities may be deprioritized during certain implementation phases.
