13 The Strategic Management Framework The Institute has adopted an agie and adaptive approach to strategic management and strategic panning. STRATEGIC PLAN This approach recognises the ever-changing andscape and the emergent nature of many of the chaenges that we wi face in the coming years. Therefore the Strategic Pan does not seek to detai and address every step that CIT wi take over the coming five years. Rather it seeks to estabish top-eve priorities and goas which wi serve as a signpost for the Institute, its staff and constituents as they pursue their various and distinct activities during the next five years. Responsibiity for managing, reviewing and reporting on the impementation of the Strategic Pan and the management framework wi rest with the Strategic Panning Counci (SPC). The SPC is made up of representatives of the various constituencies within CIT incuding staff, students and senior management. The SPC is estabished by the President and wi remain in office for the fu five year term of the Strategic Pan. Each year the SPC wi conduct a forma review of the Institute s performance against the Strategic Pan and wi produce a forma progress report for the CIT Governing Body. The strategic management framework, which is iustrated in Figure 1, does not consist soey of the formuation or impementation of a corporate strategic pan. Instead it invoves an ongoing cycica process which consists of a panning phase, an action phase and a review phase. The Panning Phase The Strategic Pan, whie important, is ony one component of the overa strategic management framework. As mentioned previousy the Strategic Pan identifies the strategic priorities and goas for the Institute but does not address the modaities for achieving these. This detai wi emerge in the more specific and detaied pans that wi be deveoped by the facuties, coeges and other units that comprise CIT. The panning phase wi consist of the foowing: Each unit wi be required to produce a deveopment pan which highights the priorities and goas of that unit and how these wi contribute to the achievement of the Institute s strategic goas. These pans wi be operationa in nature and wi contain detaied actions as we as measurabe targets and objectives. These pans wi be formay integrated with the Institute s strategic management framework through their incusion in the appropriate executive unit pan. CIT is made up of 8 executive units (i.e. the Facuty of Science and Engineering, the Facuty of Business and Humanities, the CIT Cork Schoo of Music, the CIT Crawford Coege of Art and Design, the Nationa Maritime Coege of Ireand, the Office of the Vice President for Deveopment, the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Office of the Vice President for Finance and Administration). A other departments, schoos, units and centres of the Institute are contained within one of these executive units. The Head of each executive unit wi coate the actions, objectives and targets from the various departments, schoos and units in his/her area of contro into a singe pan and wi formay present this for adoption by Governing Body within six months of the adoption of the Institute s Strategic Pan. The various unit-pans wi be dynamic documents and wi be subject to updates and revisions on an annua basis foowing the review phase.
14 Review 14 As we as the overa Strategic Pan and the detaied pans from the various units, the Institute wi aso deveop an annua resource aocation and operationa pan which wi aso be integrated in to the strategic management framework. Act Day to day business Impementing pans Strategic projects Performance assessment (KPIs) Risk management Interna audit Quaity management Pan Strategic panning Operationa panning Unit strategies and pans Figure 1: CIT Strategic Management Framework The Action Phase The action phase wi consist of the day-to-day operation of the Institute, the pursuit of specific initiatives contained in the various pans and the impementation of major Institute-wide strategic projects. The action phase wi be deivered and managed in a distributed manner with ongoing oversight by the Institute Executive Board and the Strategic Panning Counci (SPC). The Review Phase A key component of the strategic management framework is reguar and ongoing review of the Institute s performance in genera and specificay its performance in reation to strategic goas. The strategic management framework wi integrate a number of management and governance processes (such as the process for performance measurement via KPIs, the risk management process, the interna audit process and the quaity management process) to impement a comprehensive review process. This approach aso provides structured systems for feeding the resuts of the review phase forward into the subsequent panning and action phases. The review phase wi cuminate in the creation of a detaied progress report by the SPC. This report wi be presented to and adopted by the CIT Governing Body. At the end of the five year period of the pan the SPC wi conduct the end of pan review and produce the Strategic Pan Cose-out Report which wi be presented for adoption by the CIT Governing Body.
