    Measuring Progress

    The Credo team will work with you to develop dashboards, track progress, and tie in Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in a seamless manner for ease of management and reporting.

    • Results in a campus-owned, Credo-supported, action-oriented plan.
    • Nurtures a culture of planning rather than define an episode of planning.
    • Guides plans that are KPI-aligned and measurable at all levels.
    • Builds campus capacity for strategic action while offering increased accountability toward goals.

    Credo was able to quickly read the institution and help craft the right questions to frame our strategic planning work. Utilizing the community day approach, they were careful to listen to everyone, regardless of role at the institution. This set the stage for widespread buy-in among faculty and staff and moved toward a culture of planning with committees who took ownership of initiatives.
