8P5 Selecting Measures and Setting Performance Projections

Western encourages a systems-wide process for selecting measures and setting performance projections. Each of the strategic planning groups defines annual action items for goals and objectives in its area, determines performance targets, and identifies performance measures.The groups create an implementation timeline and identify the individuals for each action. The Steering Committee receives regular progress reports for the goals and objectives in each area. Figures 1.1b through 9.1b demonstrate the progress and alignment of strategic goals with AQIP Categories.

• Annual Progress Reports publish progress on strategic goals, opportunities, and specific actions.
• Institutional goals are established through the strategic planning process as described previously.
• Unit directors, chairs, deans, vice presidents, and the Cabinet establish measurable outcomes necessary for evaluation of goal attainment.
