Key strategic planning issues
Strategic Reference Points
2015 Strategic Plan:• Strategic Outcomes: revisit• 10 Strategic Objectives:
thematic clustering• Strategies: review • Targets : review
Strategy:• Vision & Mission: clear - postmerger• Social Mandate: requires clarification• Business Model (ODL): requires clarification
IOP: 3 Strategically-aligned Operational Themes:
• Institutional Identity:- ODL- Africanness- Comprehensiveness- Teaching/Research/CE Emphasis
• Academic Identity & Focus:- ODL- Comprehensive PQM- Delivery model- Graduateness- Access and admissions policy
• Enabling Mechanisms & Resources- Primary & support services
- Appropriate BA/EAs: (People, Systems, Resources/Infrastructure & Technology)
- Enabling Conditions: (Leadership & Management, Culture & Climate)
Strategic Planning Issues
• IOP list – organisational issues (distilled from: recent Makgotla, PVC summit, HEQC, 2008 IOP mid-year progress report)– Leadership & management– Communication– Alignment of individual, departmental institutional and social
purpose & meaning– Shared understandings & buy-in
• PQM – HEQC (comprehensiveness)• Recurriculation – relevance (Africanness)• Enrolment planning (teaching input, operational implications)• Throughput and success (teaching output)• Research output (M&D, publications)• QA/Risk Management/IPMS• Staffing: Achram, capacity, employment equity, succession
planning• Budget
Implementation• College plan & College component of
other plans– Objectives– Strategies projects – Resources– Activities/actions
• Projects• Scheduling/dependencies
• Importance of shifting planning/project management mode in order to execute strategy
Performance Management
• Targets• Performance measures • Progress reporting/Monitoring &
Evaluation (Review)• Supported by Information &
Analysis:–Business Intelligence Framework– Institutional Research
Strategic Planning Issues:
1. Enrolment Planning
Key strategic decision• Comply with ministerial target or negotiate upwards and/or
onwards? Can we sustain quality and operational service delivery?
• Accepting increases based on potential new negotiated role for Unisa: – Maintaining high participation rates in the light of declining
residential enrolments and impacts of HIV/AIDS– Addressing teacher education crisis– Serving continental needs
• Despite ‘knee-jerk’ nature of recent HE policy (generated by tension between widened participation imperative/Treasury efficiency concerns & fiscal constraint), this new role will not be condoned without Unisa responsibly and demonstrably addressing success & throughput efficiencies
Key strategic challenge
• Responsibly managed open access is therefore an unavoidable imperative
• This means balancing seemingly contradictory policy goals:– Commitment to open access, as part of our
institutional social mandate– Commitment to enhancing success &
throughput efficiency– Commitment to ensuring high quality &
relevant graduate outcomes for employment and the critical citizenship in the African context
Managed open access• Not exclusionary, but realistically supportive in
the light of changing student profile (details in forthcoming HEMIS update)
• Involves rigorous pre-registration engagement to: – Test appropriately for academic potential and
readiness– Ensure conducive & supportive life conditions– Ensure right programme & subject choice and
realistic study loads – Identify appropriate tutorial & Pastoral support and
channelling
• HE fulfils multiple purposes:– Academic, vocational & professional graduates for
labour market– Knowledge production for innovation and economic &
social development– Formative education, cultural & intellectual enrichment – Independent space for fostering critical debate &
citizenship– Means of enhancing social mobility and distribution of
opportunity & wealth• Attempting to fulfil these simultaneously can
generate (apparent & real) conflicts and policy tensions– eg Excellence/Efficiency vs Equity/Access
Policy Tensions
At the heart of Unisa’s enrolment planning lies such a policy tension namely:• Growth & expansion, driven by:
– National policy framework emphasising widening participation, driven, in turn, by both equity and development needs
– Unisa’s social mandate to provide affordable, flexible access to higher education for non-traditional, disadvantaged students
– Increasing & unabating market demand (see figures)– Unisa’s emerging role in addressing teacher education crisis and
continental HRD needsvs
• Controlled growth & capping, driven by:– Fiscal constraint, leading to ministerial enrolment targets (role of
Treasury)– Concern for efficiency & success/throughput – avoiding the
revolving door syndrome (systemic & institutional levels)– Operational efficiency & service delivery constraints
Policy Tension in Enrolment Planning
The Key Strategic Decision
• Continued Open access in line with DoE requirements for widened participation, market demand
vs
• New ‘Responsible’ open admission & enrolment in line with renegotiated DOE enrolment targets, emphasis on success & throughput, operational considerations
• Total HEMIS HCs– Increased from
206 178 in 2004 to 254 136 in 2007
– 2006/5: 9,43% up– 2007/6: 11,69% up• Active HCs – 2007: 239 581 (94,3%
active rate) – 5,4% increase on 2006
– Approaching 2010 ministerial target of 258 023

Course Profiling
Staff profiling• Employment equity: key variables by designated
groups• Succession planning: key variables by age• Capacity development: key variables by highest
qualifications• Qualitative profiling
– Understanding (but not necessarily condoning) the attitudes & experiences of staff is key to effective change management as a basis for realising strategic goals
– Organisational theory identifies various positions which staff take up within organisations in relation to change initiatives
– What might this look like in current Unisa climate?
Change profileSelf constructions/identity tensions:• Collegialism-managerialism: Resistance to
compliance and planned environment vs nostalgic attavists
• Teaching-Research nexis• Academic-Educator identity• Meaningful identification-alienation :
– Based on alignment of personal, departmental, institutional and social purposes, and shared understandings of institutional vision (King Solomon/NASA/Disney adage)
• Self-interested minimalists-inspired initiative takers
