10. The Cycle of Planning

11. Planning Gets Results

12. The Initiative that is first and foremost in our faces to be integrated into our systems now is: Pathways
Four Pillars of Guided Pathways (steps):
3. Stay on the path: Help students stay on their path. 4. Ensure learning: Ensure that learning is happening with intentional outcomes.
1. Clarify the path: Create clear curricular pathways to employment and further education. 2. Enter the Path: Help students choose and enter their pathway.

13. What is Pathways?

14. How do the components work together?
Via the Pathway framework & Collaboration.

15. What role does collaboration play?
Collaboration helps develop pathways!

17. What do you have at your college that will help:
Improve Complete Rates
Increase Transfers
Accelerate Job Placement

18. Moving Forward - What is your role as a leader?
FORESIGHT
A plausible internally consistent view of the future
INSIGHT
An “Aha” moment that provokes action
ACTION
A clear, compelling way forward that can help you get there early and win.
F-I-A Process

19. Moving Forward – How will our Leadership Focus change?
Current Literacy
Future Literacy
Leaders focus on the present first, then think out gradually as far as they can toward the future.
How can I look ten years ahead when I can’t even make sense of the present?
Leaders who express certainty are viewed as strong leaders.
The best leaders will jump ten or more years ahead and then work backward from the future.
Long-term forecasting is easier than short-term – leaders will have to look long to make sense of the VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world.
Certainty will be suspect, but the best leaders will have clarity.
