Operational Data

Continual feedback to adapt to external regulatory and competitive environment is essential in today's complex healthcare landscape, and hospital leadership needs to transform its strategic planning process to reflect the market dynamic. Digital artifacts such as performance dashboard track operational data and transform these into key performance indicators (KPIs) to set organizational goals and align unit level operations. However, the velocity of change occurring in the marketplace needs a dynamic approach: a real-time aggregation of operational data into KPIs for a daily or weekly review to gain insights and respond quickly to evolving market expectations. This chapter discusses how an rtDashboard (real time dashboard) has evolved to become a key artifact that transformed the way a hospital in SE Michigan engaged in its strategic planning process.

Marketing Variables

It presents the case of a textile entrepreneur facing a difficult situation due to the oversizing of his business and the neglect of marketing variables, at a time when inflation levels are high and a sharp recession process is beginning. Forced by necessity, he has to close two of his four stores, liquidate his garment factory and return to informality. After taking a marketing management course at a prestigious institution, he sets about the task of preparing his strategic planning. The case is a good opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of the strategic planning process: the mission; the situational analysis, risks and opportunities of the general environment of the country and the competitive environment (strengths and weaknesses); and finally the objectives and strategies, all within a framework of free importation in a market economy context.

While alleviating the adverse effects of employees' pursuit of their subgroups' goals over organizational goals is important, finding ways to avoid them may be even more important. In this paper, we investigate whether strategic planning can be used to reduce organizational members' position bias, or the extent to which they direct their attention toward the immediate goals and priorities attached to their position. We examine the hypothesis that involving employees in the strategic planning process and communicating the agreed-upon priorities to them afterwards enhance goal convergence by attenuating position bias. We examine these questions in a sample of 164 manufacturing plants from five countries and three industries, where we asked middle-level managers to assess the importance of various organizational goals. We find that participation and communication function as complements to jointly reduce managerial position bias.

Objectives- To understand how university libraries are engaging with the university community (students, faculty, campus partners, administration) when working through the strategic planning process. Methods- Literature review and exploratory open-ended survey to members of CAUL (Council of Australian University Librarians), CARL (Canadian Association of Research Libraries), CONZUL (Council of New Zealand University Librarians), and RLUK (Research Libraries UK) who are most directly involved in the strategic planning process at their library. Results- Out of a potential 113 participants from 4 countries, 31 people replied to the survey in total (27%). Libraries most often mentioned the use of regularly-scheduled surveys to inform their strategic planning which helps to truncate the process for some respondents, as opposed to conducting user feedback specifically for the strategic plan process. Other quantitative methods include customer intelligence and library-produced data. Qualitative methods include the use of focus groups, interviews, and user experience/design techniques to help inform the strategic plan. The focus of questions to users tended to fall towards user-focused (with or without library lens), library-focused, trends & vision, and feedback on plan. Conclusions- Combining both quantitative and qualitative methods can help give a fuller picture for librarians working on a strategic plan. Having the university community join the conversation in how the library moves forward is an important but difficult endeavour. Regardless, the university library needs to be adaptive to the rapidly changing environment around it. Having a sense of how other libraries engage with the university community benefits others who are tasked with strategic planning
