1MUST Strategic Plan 2010-2014

We hold the legacy of excellence passed on to us by previous administrators, faculty, staff,

students, and other key stakeholders of our beloved institution. Now, as a young university, we intend to continue this tradition of pursuing quality in our main functions: instruction, research, extension, and production. We aim to make a difference and exceed past gains.

As a university, we envision to be among the leading institutions in the country in providing scientific and technological knowledge and skills. To realize this is a big test for us. But we have done our homework well and have made preparations even before February 20, 2009—the date of effectivity for R.A. 9519 that converted Mindanao Polytechnic State College (MPSC) into Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST).

This Strategic Plan, a product of our joint efforts, steers the directions that we want to follow in our first five years of universityhood. Amidst the complexity of our internal and external environments, we have identified our flagship goals, objectives and strategies. We have also considered the enabling plans and mechanisms that will be critical in successfully achieving our vision.

The challenge that remains for us now is to implement this plan, check on our progress periodically, and make necessary re-directions along the way, until ultimately we get to where we want to be.

No individual person or unit can do this alone; there is only a We.

Let us do this together. With a strong and united will and drive, we can achieve our vision as a university. Let us not wait for change to come. Let us make it happen.

2 MUST Strategic Plan 2010-2014

The MUST Strategic Development Plan is the product of a collaborative strategic planning effort of the major stakeholders of the academic community in Mindanao

University of Science and Technology. Spearheaded by Dr. Ricardo E. Rotoras, the University president, it sets the directions by which the University will carve its niche in the higher education sector of the country.

Started in the last quarter of 2008 and winded up by end of 2009, the planning process exhibited the University’s pursuit for excellence, for committed and facilita-tive leadership, for stakeholder ownership and participation, for responsiveness to development challenges and opportuni-ties, and for a firm grasp of current reali-ties.

The Strategic Planning Framework

It used a framework of an iterative process that started with the units/departments, then to the college, the divisions, and finally the university level. It went through a series of consolidation and vali-dation with the different stakeholder groups and the General As-sembly before it was presented to the Board of Regents. In the final consolidation stage, the details of the plan were again presented to the General Assembly for further refinement (Figure 1).

The SWOT

From the unit up to the university level, the planning team used a conventional and straightforward tool for analysis—the SWOT. This tool allowed the university to look into internal factors that influence its operations—its strengths and weaknesses as well as into its external factors—opportunities and threats. Table 1 below gives a summary of the evaluation results.

By 2012, the Strategic Plan will be subjected to a midterm review that will look back into the three full years of plan implementation to lay out development trends for a longer planning period of the University. In general, the monitoring and evaluation mechanism of the plan recognizes its evolving and dynamic nature; meaning, that although there are directions set based on current analysis, there remains room for flexibility, for new analysis, and possible re-directions when deemed necessary.
