Strategic Plan

Integrated Planning

Planning at PCC

Integrated planning is a sustainable approach to planning that builds relationships, aligns the organization, and emphasizes preparedness for change.

How our Planning Aligns

Integrated planning is more than a process; it is an approach, which is:

  • Sustainable: Build a culture of planning
  • Collaborative: Engages all stakeholders
  • Aligned: Across the college
  • Change-ready: Poised to respond to a volatile environment

The college’s different divisions and departments have done a great deal of planning, and SPIP is currently working on aligning and integrating those plans. When all the planning efforts are aligned in addressing the college’s strategic issues, the college will be much more effective in achieving our goals.
