1 Revised March 9, 2016 INFORMATION: KCTCS STRATEGIC PLAN Agenda Item H-2 DEVELOPMENT REVISED GOALS March 11, 2016 At the March 10-11, 2016 meeting, President Box will present revised goals for the Board of Regents consideration as part of the KCTCS Strategic Plan development process. Background In spring 2015, President Box began the strategic planning process by collecting input from stakeholders throughout Kentucky. He conducted listening sessions at all 16 KCTCS colleges and the System Office, meeting with nearly 2,000 community members, students, KCTCS employees, and business leaders to help envision a future state for KCTCS. Additionally, a statewide survey was conducted that garnered over 3,200 responses and solicitied input from nearly 20 System-wide functional Peer Teams, representing virtually every organizational area of operations.this statewide input represents the outcome of a whole-system engagement process intended to share the design of KCTCS s future with those who will be most impacted in that future. On May 19, 2015, the President s Leadership Team (the 16 college presidents and the President s Cabinet) considered all input, research, and data collected thus far to recommend the proposed Vision, Values and Goals for The data collected through this comprehensive process was used to shape the recommended Vision, Values, and Goals presented to the KCTCS Board of Regents in June At the June 2015 meeting, the KCTCS Board of Regents adopted proposed Vision, Values, and Goals for the KCTCS Strategic Plan as the initial step in the strategic planning development process (see Attachment A). The Innovation Rountables In fall 2015, President Box collected additional data through the statewide Innovation Roudtables funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. These roundtable sessions were conducted in each of Kentucky s nine economic regions as defined by economist and Professor Emeritus at the University of Louisville, Dr. Paul Coomes, to identify opportunities for change and innovation within the region around five overarching issues: - Educational attainment at all levels. - Economic development and job growth. - A world-class, 21 st century workforce. - Global competitiveness of business and industry. - Prosperity of Kentucky citizens. The over 160 Roundtable participants included workforce and economic development professionals, secondary and postsecondary educational partners, chamber executives, elected officials, representatives from regional, community, and statewide organizations, and employers.

2 The input gathered from these roundtable sessions has been summarized in a KCTCS publication entitled EMBRACING THE DREAM Kentucky s Future: A Statewide Perspective (see link below). The summary data presented in the EMBRACING THE DREAM report has been used to refine the goals presented to the KCTCS Board of Regents in June (see Attachment A). These revised goals serve as the basis for new proposed strategic performance measures as part of the strategic plan. Peformance measures have been developed with the full engagement of the college Insitutional Research and Institutional Effectiveness staff, college strategic planning leads, and the KCTCS President s Leadership Team. The KCTCS Office of Research and Policy Analysis has developed, analyzed, and shared data critical to the development of useful, meaningful strategic performance metrics See Agenda Item H- 3 KCTCS Strategic Plan Development Performance Measures. The Council on Postsecondary Education s Strategic Agenda As required by statute, the KCTCS will continue to maintain alignment with the statewide postsecondary education strategic agenda set by the CPE responding to the mandates in the Kentucky Postsecondary Education Improvement Act of 1997 (as amended). During the new strategic planning cycle, KCTCS has been working closely with CPE and other state partners including the Kentucky Department of Education, the Kentucky Workforce Innovation Board, and the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce in an unprecedented effort to collaborate on a shared vision and set of strategic goals for the Commonwealth. College Alignment with System Strategic Goals The 16 KCTCS colleges have been conducting their local strategic planning processes in parallel to the System s process. College strategic planning goals must align with System s goals. All KCTCS colleges have submitted their strategic planning goals as approved by the college boards of directors, and in alignment with the revised goals presented to the KCTCS Board of Regents. Strategic Performance Measures The System goals and aligned college goals serve as the basis for new proposed strategic performance measures as part of the strategic plan. REVISED - 60

The KCTCS Office of Research and Policy Analysis has developed, analyzed, and shared data critical to the development of useful, meaningful strategic performance metrics. (See Agenda Item H-3 KCTCS Strategic Plan Development Performance Measures) KCTCS Strategic Plan Influencing Factors Given the unique circumstances of the current strategic planning cycle, some fluidity is still expected in the planning process. A combination of factors and questions may further impact the proposed strategic plan goals and measures, possibly necessitating additional revisions. REVISED - 61
