Fonds TH 12 - Department of Strategic Planning fonds

The Department of Strategic Planning was established in November 1987 and was responsible for the creation and implementation of post-merger strategic plans for TTH as articulated in the planning model entitled Vision 2001. A possible predecessor to the Strategic Planning department was the department of Program Planning which existed for less than a year (January 1987 to November 1987) with Vytas Mickevicius serving as the Director. Michael J. McCartney was the Corporate Director of the Strategic Planning department from November 1987 to November 1989. The department was terminated on November 30, 1989.

One of the main responsibilities of the Strategic Planning Department was the creation of a post-merger strategic plan for TTH which resulted in Vision 2001, a planning model tabled at an administrative think-in in January 1989. The department then prepared an implementation plan for Vision 2001 which was presented to TTH Board of Trustees for approval in late 1989. Strategic Planning worked closely with departments and their respective planning committees to help facilitate planning efforts and ensure compatibility with the goals outlined in Vision 2001. The Corporate Director served on many planning committees including the Planning and Priorities Committee of TTH Board of Trustees.
