Planning

The University’s planning process comprises four closely integrated phases: strategic planning, operational and management planning, budget planning and performance monitoring.

The UWA Strategic Plan is at the peak of the process, setting the mission, the values, the broad strategic directions, and the primary goals and objectives that underpin all University activity and provide the framework for decision making in the medium to long term. The UWA Academic Profile is the University’s strategic academic plan for the next decade.

The Operational Priorities Plan (OPP) sits between the strategic plan and the various management plans referred to below. It provides a sharper focus to planning by selectively assigning priority to those areas which the University sees as being most crucial to improving quality and achieving its overriding goal of international excellence in the immediate future. The Plan is structured around four themes:

  • Internationalisation
  • Teaching and Learning
  • Research
  • Resourcing and management

The Plan serves both as a quality improvement tool and a management tool, as each priority area is assigned specific targets and implementation responsibility. It is reviewed annually and fully revised every three years.

A series of management plans then take up these themes and priorities and translate them into detailed operational plans at the institution-wide level for the short to medium term, to give them operational substance in terms of specific policies, procedures, quality controls and resource decisions. The key management/operational plans are:

  • Research Management Plan
