A. Give this Action Project a short title in 10 words or fewer:

Formalize processes for securing and utilizing stakeholder inputs.

 

B. Describe this Action Project's goal in 100 words or fewer:

In response to our Systems Portfolio Feedback Report, Edison needs to formalize its processes for securing stakeholder input. Included in this Action Project will be assigning responsibility for securing data, establishing frequency of data requests, determining accountability, and specifying process steps, including the aggregating and analyzing of data.

C. Identify the single AQIP Category which the Action Project will most affect or impact:

Primary Category: Understanding Students' and Other Stakeholders' Needs

 

D. Describe briefly your institution's reasons for taking on this Action Project now -- why the project and its goals are high among your current priorities: Help

Edison has multiple input strategies for stakeholders, and many are utilized in a cyclic fashion. There is no established process to be followed by those securing input to aggregate and analyze data, nor how data is used to drive change within the college. A better college-wide process needs to be deployed in order to have continuity of practice and to gain full benefit of the information gleaned from the various listening strategies.

 

E. List the organizational areas - -institutional departments, programs, divisions, or units -- most affected by or involved in this Action Project:Help

All areas of college will be impacted.

 

F. Name and describe briefly the key organizational process(es) that you expect this Action Project to change or improve:Help

Securing data through surveys of various college departments and committees, advisory committee input, program review processes, and CQI process teams.

 

G. Explain the rationale for the length of time planned for this Action Project (from kickoff to target completion):     Help

We believe we can study, develop, and implement processes for consistent stakeholder input and the use of the data within the next 9 months.

 

H. Describe how you plan to monitor how successfully your efforts on this Action Project are progressing:     Help

Edison will design and deploy a process for gaining, interpreting, and using data from stakeholder input strategies. Once a process is established, data can be compared with other organizations to help in our target setting for continuous quality improvement.

 

I. Describe the overall "outcome" measures or indicators that will tell you whether this Action Project has been a success or failure in achieving its goals:    Help

If data is available for use throughout the college and is used to drive positive change, the project will have been successful. Specific targets for improvement will be set by the team after other aspects of the project have been defined and completed.
