Getting to that end point, achieving the plan goals, is generally not a straight line.
Some goals are easier to tackle or already underway.
But if the goals express real aspirations, and if the organization brings serious dedication to the plan's execution, incremental improvement is assured. First now enters the implementation phase. If those deeply committed to the process are right, these goals will describe the present in July 2000, the end of the plan horizon. While tackling six strategic goals may sound like a daunting task for any one college or university within the system, the plan execution process will draw on the synergy and collaboration of teams, both systemwide teams and teams within each college and university. We have some wonderful talent assigned to work on this.
