Abstract

The demand for strategic planning has increased at community colleges. When used as a comprehensive tool strategic planning can effectively track goals and outcomes for accreditation standards and federal requirements, which can assist institutions in ensuring compliance. This dissertation in practice examines strategic planning at Butler County Community College (BC3) and how actualization improves employee understanding and further advances the strategic planning process at the college. Pre-existing employee survey data and feedback from senior leadership interviews were used to develop a Strategic Planning Summit to provide employees with an interactive opportunity to learn more about the strategic planning process. Findings demonstrate that Strategic Planning Summit participants, regardless of time at the institution, found value in its activities and would encourage others to participate in similar events. The improvement project has specific implications for strategic planning practice at Butler County Community College (BC3) and provides broader implications to inform strategic planning at community colleges nationally.
