The HPC Strategic Planning Process

Our company’s approach to building an effective, outcomes-based strategic planning process is called the High Performing Communities Framework ™ (HPC). The five key elements of the HPC Framework are: I. Fact Finding II. Issue Identification III. Using Research to Identify and Validate Indicators IV. Model Design V. Structural Detailing

Training in the HPC Process

• This morning we will provide a brief training in a part of the HPC Strategic Planning Process
• To equip the Planning Team with a common language and set of tools to be used throughout the planning process

One of these gentlemen

is a drug dealer.

Can you pick him out?

Mickey Mouse: The Speed Dealer!

In the 1950s, non-medical use of stimulant

and sedative drugs was widely accepted

and promoted in the mainstream media –

so widely in fact that they even made it

into a children’s Walt Disney 1951 comic

book starring Mickey Mouse as a speed

dealer who just loves his own product.

Habitus

Habitus is public enemy #1 in a collaborative

planning process.

Habitus is a compilation/field of behaviors, history, beliefs, attitudes, and practices that support the continuation, maintenance and empowerment of biased thinking surrounding a problem or issue. Habitus acts as a strong catalyst for resistance to change.

In other words, it is the stuff that fuels silos, racism,

prejudice, and negative competition.

Fact-finding helps reduce the power of habitus.

Overcoming Habitus

During the Planning Process

The core planning team will be continuously challenged to:

• Move past habitus and employ fact-based analysis during plan design
• Move past habitus in how you view each other and your role in the process
• Move past habitus in how you view students, staff, faculty, community, parents, and each other
• Move past habitus in how you view planning Some of our views and assumptions may be confirmed and others challenged, but at least the process for vetting assumptions will be a rigorous and credible one.

Fact Finding

The practice of fact finding begins with identifying

and acknowledging commonly known or accepted

ideas, principals, rules and practices.

But, this is only the beginning of the process.

Let’s begin Exercise 1.

Issue Identification What are issues?

• Issues are not a list of problems.
• They are tangible root sources of things requiring change/correction/planning validated through a process of identification and analysis.
• Let’s go on to Exercise 2 and do some reading before practicing the skill of issue identification through our scenario.

Planning Framework

A strategic plan is a plan that

can be fully operationalized.

It minimally addresses:

• The vision and mission that drive the plan
• Goals and projected outcomes related to the

plan, and how success is measured

• Who must do what, and how and why?
• The incremental steps and necessary timelines
