May 22 – 24: AQIP Strategy Forum (By Invitation Only)
The Strategy Forum provides a team of institutional leaders the opportunity to plan enhancements to their quality improvement program in a creative, supportive environment. Teams must include seven or eight members.
The Strategy Forum uses an institution’s feedback report from its Systems Appraisal as a case study in institutional debriefing, focusing a team of faculty, staff, and administrators on developing and fine-tuning processes for continuous institutional learning. Strengthening the mechanisms that transform institutional learning into continuous improvement of key processes and performance results is essential in helping AQIP colleges and universities transform feedback from the Systems Appraisals (and other internal and external feedback mechanisms) into concrete plans for future improvements.
