Planning Process Update on Operational and Strategic Initiatives

From Jay Kahn, Finance and Planning: The Planning Council has assembled a Planning Commons Status Update on 73 strategic and operational initiatives submitted in late fall. While in many cases, review committees have passed along initiative recommendations, initiatives requiring recommendation from the Budget and Resource Council and the President’s Cabinet still need to be finalized. The original schedule indicated that Cabinet review would be completed by May 14. The uncertainty of the FY2010 budget is making decisions constraining funding available for important initiatives. Committee comments on initiatives are to be forwarded back to requesters in the near future. You can check the status of strategic and operational initiatives by visiting the Planning Council website.
