Assignment: Course Project: Develop a Financial Plan
Collaboration and Implementation
This assignment is the third part of a three-part Course Project which requires you to develop a financial plan for a department within an institution of higher education. The Course Project is based on the following scenario:
A new president has been selected to run your university. His first initiative is to impose a new strategic direction that focuses on three key priorities:
• Increasing student engagement
• Integrating information technology into programs and services
• Developing measurable learning outcomes
This has the potential to change a number of operations, priorities, and the allocation of resources in your department.
Consider the process of planning and collaboration needed to implement your department's initiatives, and consider the impact of your department's new operations on other departments.
Continue using the Word template you saved from the previous 2 weeks to complete the Course Project. Complete: Collaboration and Implementation" this week.
