UMB’s strategic plan establishes the institution’s priorities, goals, and desired outcomes. Schools and administrative units align their planning and activities to these shared goals.

IEIE supports this work by coordinating goal development, tracking progress, and facilitating reporting across the University.

Connecting Goals to Institutional Planning

Strategic goals are translated into action through unit-level planning and reporting processes. These include:

  • Alignment of unit goals with institutional priorities
  • Annual Implementation Plans (AIPs)
  • Regular progress updates and performance tracking
  • Identification and monitoring of risks and outcomes

This structure ensures that institutional priorities are supported through measurable, accountable action across the University.

Reporting and Progress Monitoring

Progress toward strategic goals is reviewed throughout the planning cycle, including:

  • Mid-year progress updates
  • Fiscal year-end reporting
  • Ongoing assessment of goal progress and completion

These reporting processes support institutional learning and help inform future planning cycles.
