Planning for Delivery on ATE Priorities and Goals
In approving the new strategic plan, the Board asked that timetables and metrics be developed for the plan, and for periodic updates on progress towards achieving its goals.
An implementation plan will be developed over the next several months.
The Charge The Approach
A mandate for reform … an instruction to deliver.

Approach to Delivery on Priorities and Goals
“deliverology” (n.) is a systematic process through which system / campus / divisional / unit leaders drive progress and deliver results.
Priorities and goals can be delivered on time and on standard, but only if one keeps bringing people back to the fundamentals:
• What is our system / campus / division / unit trying to do?• How will we deliver that?• How, at any given moment, will we know whether or not we are
on track?• How, if progress is not what we hoped for, will we solve the
problem?• How can a central Delivery Unit help?

Approach to Delivery : Process Components
• Setting Targets –which set measurable goals• Develop a Delivery Plan—which is used to manage delivery
What is the delivery chain? What are the milestones and trajectories? What data will be collected at every stage in the process? Who are key stakeholders? Who is accountable at the top … and all along the delivery chain?
• Monthly Reports—on key themes• Stocktakes—held every other Executive Committee meeting /
Cabinet meeting / Divisional Team meeting / Unit meeting• Problem-solving/Corrective Action—where necessary• Delivery Reports—minimum of two reports to Board of Trustees
summarizing progress on delivery Recent performance with ‘assessment of likely delivery’ (traffic lights) Priorities summarized in a ‘league table’

The CSU ATE Delivery Plan: Goals
The CSU new strategic plan calls for three major priorities and eight goals within these priorities.
Goal 1: Reduce existing achievement gaps. “In adopting this strategic plan, the CSU leadership commits to halving existing achievement gaps within the next ten years. The first step in accomplishing this will be to set clear goals and performance benchmarks that can be the basis for accountability for achieving these results. Work will need to occur at each of the points in the educational pipeline where leakages are occurring: in college-going rates among recent high school graduates; in first-year retention rates; in transfer readiness and success; in baccalaureate degree completion; and in graduate and professional school readiness and completion.”

Towards a CSU Chico Delivery Plan: In Perspective
Over the past five years, Chico has been on a trajectory of increased institutional effectiveness and accountability:
• Alignment of divisional strategic plans with University’s Strategic Plan for the Future• Move towards linked performance indicators for the University Annual Report Card• Development of the Enterprise Data Warehouse and web-based Reporting Services
Thus, ‘deliverology approach’ dovetails nicely with campus efforts and will allow the campus to further address the WASC Commission Recommendation:
“The team viewed it as essential that the campus focus on the most important performance indicators and establish targeted goals and measurable objectives to be reached over the next five years. The Commission concurs.”
17
Towards a CSU Chico Delivery Plan: Next Steps
Key areas to be considered in development of delivery plan:
• Launch Chico delivery team—composition of team; assign leadership, management and accountability
• Set trajectory for implementation—define key milestones and overall time table
• Identify relevant activities and delivery chain—what levers are available? What activities to improve, remove, introduce?
• Detail Performance Management—what indicators and sub-indicators to monitor to see whether delivery is on track?
• Describe resources and support required—what resources are required for plan’s success, and if not currently available, how to be obtained?
• Prepare to engage stakeholders—who are relevant stakeholders? How to manage change over time? How to communicate key messages of change program?
• Anticipate and prepare for challenges—what risks and constraints might throw off efforts. How to manage?
18
Deliverology: The Promise
“Interestingly, as time went by, once officials had clarified the delivery chain and started to exert influence on it, they found their jobs much more worthwhile. Many civil servants, after all, had embarked on their careers motivated by the thought of making a difference, only to be ground down by the inertia of the machine of which they had become a part. Often we found we had reignited their motivation; they were once again making a difference.” (p. 87)
