It is expected that the decisions in support of institutional goals and objectives will be made using data. Where none exist, processes should be launched to either secure the data necessary from external sources (CPE, KCTCS, KY Occupational Outlook & Breaking Glass, etc.) or internally from Institutional Research. Some of the information necessary to deploy this plan will require data collection from constituent groups through surveys, focus groups or other means. The KSU senior leaders responsible for each goal shall immediately assess all relevant data resources to establish benchmarks along with multi-year trend lines and growth targets.

Each Institutional goal and associated strategic objectives shall be tracked and reported in a uniform manner. Strategic objectives are included in Gantt charts to assist in timely work and strategic outcomes. Each strategic objective should be mapped using the electronic form found in Attachment C. An example of a condensed form can be found in the figure that follows. The University "Dashboard" should be utilized to track progress on all goals and related objectives.
