Case Study: Dalhousie University achieves strategic planning efficiency with AchieveIt

Dalhousie University delivers strategic plan reports in 2 days with AchieveIt

Dalhousie University's Faculty of Health faced a significant challenge with strategic planning efficiency. Despite launching a new strategic plan with over 300 items, their process relied on decentralized spreadsheets and lists, which hindered progress, accountability, and collaboration. To facilitate a transformative shift towards a more structured approach, they turned to the vendor AchieveIt and its platform for strategic planning.

By implementing AchieveIt, the faculty created an effective system that established clear accountability and drastically reduced the time required for updates from weeks to just days. This enabled more frequent reporting and fostered healthy competition. The measurable results included the ability to compile and deliver comprehensive reports to the provost in two days and a cultural shift towards ownership of strategic goals. AchieveIt's solution was deemed revolutionary, providing significant time and resource savings and paving the way for broader adoption across other academic units.
