Pillar: Strategic Partnerships, Alignment and Capacity Building

  

IEIE supports institutional strategy and planning by coordinating planning processes, maintaining reporting systems, and providing data and analysis that inform decision-making.

We work with schools, administrative units, and University leadership to align priorities, document progress, and ensure that planning activities are supported by consistent data and reporting. This approach emphasizes coordination, transparency, and the use of evidence to guide the University's long-term mission.

Why It Matters

Effective planning depends on clear priorities, reliable data, and consistent processes. Strategy and planning efforts connect these elements to support coordinated action across the University.

This work helps UMB:

  • Align unit-level activities with institutional goals
  • Track progress using consistent, measurable indicators
  • Support planning and resource discussions with data
  • Identify challenges and opportunities over time
  • Demonstrate accountability to internal and external stakeholders

Key Areas

  • SPIMS

  • Strategic Goals and Reporting

    Access the University's strategic plans and understand how goals are aligned, implemented, and monitored over time.

Integration with Budget

Planning and budgeting at UMB are closely connected. The same goals and priorities used for planning also help guide how resources are discussed and allocated.

IEIE supports this work by providing clear data on goals, progress, and results, so leaders have the information they need to make decisions.
