  5. Visioning Exercise: Parameters • Definition of Strategic Vision: • Brief statement of what the organization wants to become through the implementation of the strategic plan • Where we will be in ten years • Serves as the framework for strategic planning • Not to be confused with mission, which states why the organization exists. (You can see our current mission and vision on the strategic planning website).

  6. RIT’s 3 vision statements: • 1994-2004: “RIT will lead higher education in preparing students for successful career development over their lifetimes.” • 2004-2007: “RIT will lead higher education in preparing students for successful careers in a global society.” • 2007-2015: “RIT will lead higher education in preparing students for innovative, creative, and successful careers in a global society.”

  7. Parameter 2: Tips from Branding Consultants • 2006 (Art & Science) • “Career focus” and “technology”: critical to the RIT brand (but could use more “up-scale” language) • Also critical that we improve prospects’ perceptions of campus community and social life • 2010 (160/90) • Overarching message of RIT brand: “Situated in the intersection of theory and application, technology and creativity, RIT is a fertile and diverse ecosystem for innovation—a community of passionate thinkers and doers who make their mark on the world.”

  8. Parameter 3: The Environment • International education:Increased global competition for students, from developed and developing countries. • Without changes in visa regulations, the U.S. will continue to lose qualified masters and doctoral graduates to their home countries. • K-12 sector: Within two years, there should be full implementation of the Common Core curriculum, which has been referred to as “the biggest shift in educational philosophy in the history of the U.S.” • Partnering with Udacity (for-profit organization offering MOOCS) and AT&T, Georgia Tech will offer a MOOC MS degree in computer science for less than $7000 (available January 2014).

  9. Your Turn Question 1 • Name one or two of RIT’s biggest successes since you were hired. • What were the conditions that led to these successes?

  10. Your Turn Question 2 Given RIT’s progress to date and the environment within which we find ourselves, create a 1-2 sentence statement of RIT’s potential ten years from now.

  11. Sample 2025 vision statements • Graduates of RIT will be internationally recognized and valued for what they know, what they can imagine, what they can create, and what they can do. They will invent new products, processes, services, as well as solutions to the world’s complex problems. • RIT aspires to be a national leader recognized for innovation and creativity in an environment that values the diversity of the individual and a commitment to the world. • RIT be internationally recognized as the university that best prepares its students for success in the new and emerging career areas around which it builds its programs, partnerships, and research agenda. RIT students are prized for what they know, what they can do, and what they can imagine.

  12. Your Turn Question 3 Name three necessary conditions for the achievement of your vision (question 2).
