It is expected that the decisions made in support of institutional strategy will be made using data, where none exist, processes will be launched to either secure the data necessary from external sources (CPE, KCTCS, KY Occupational Outlook & Burning 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 will immediately assess data resources to establish current benchmarks along with growth targets.

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